Hey, do you want to have some drinks in an awesome setting, win some cool prizes, and do some good? Of course you do! So come on out next Tuesday to the Graham Hotel roof for the annual fundraiser of GM’s daughter’s school: Georgetown’s Children’s House of Washington.

The funds are being raised for scholarships to the school. And to do so, there will be auctions of a wide range of items, including a whole bunch of wine and food.

It should be a fun time for a good cause and a great school, so come on out and tip back a few with GM! Buy your tickets here.
