A large crowd turned out for the annual New Futures benefit to enjoy fine food, drink, and conversation with other supporters as well as New Futures’ students.  Diane Rehm was on hand to introduce our honored guest, Katherine Bradley, who, with CityBridge Foundation, is a staunch supporter of quality education for all DC children.  Katherine was presented with a Community Leadership Award on behalf of her work in support of DC youth.

Guests enjoyed having an opportunity to meet some of the students they are supporting through their donations, and were, as always, impressed with their determination and accomplishments.
