Light Up The Season 2019
This event highlights creative collaborations between Children’s National patients and notable area artists. Together, these patient-designer teams create custom holiday trees, mantelpieces, menorahs and dollhouses—all available for purchase—with proceeds directly supporting programs that improve the health and well-being of children across the Washington, D.C. region.
