On Friday night, SOME (So Others Might Eat) hosted its 13th annual Jr. Gala, and let’s just say that if thirteen is supposed to be an unlucky number, SOME turned it into gold.

The Gala was completely sold out for its second year in a row, and a quick glance around the venue – the National Museum of Women in the Arts – immediately revealed a crowd of young, well-to-do Washingtonians all enjoying themselves tremendously.

Guests arrived looking royally fabulous, donned in long gowns and tuxedos. If that isn’t glamorous enough, they also walked on a red carpet.

DC’s young professionals enjoyed a night filled with delicious food and cocktails, a silent auction, and a vibrant dance floor. The night’s entertainment, the Blue Tips Rhythm Revue, showcased classics ranging from Motown to modern day chart toppers.

Ticket proceeds from the event will benefit families living in SOME’s affordable apartments, including Fendall Heights, which opened in 2013 for 29 veterans and veteran-headed families.

We seriously can’t wait for next year’s event… and we’re already hungry for the hors d’oeuvres.
