The Young Professionals Council (YPC) of Starlight Children’s Foundation MidAtlantic is making Monday everyone’s new favorite day of the week. Instead of schlepping home after work on Monday, October 1, jump-start your week with some fun. Join the YPC and Starlight MidAtlantic at Urbana in DuPont Circle to kick-off the countdown to Dancing in the Starlight.

The happy hour will feature Starlight signature cocktails and one lucky attendee will win a VIP ticket to Dancing in the Starlight, this year on November 17 at The Four Seasons in Georgetown. Additionally, Urbana is generously donating 30% of all bar sales from 6-8 p.m. to Starlight MidAtlantic. Happy hour attendees will have the chance to purchase Dancing in the Starlight tickets at an exclusive early-bird price.

Dancing in the Starlight is the YPC’s portion of Taste of the Stars, Starlight MidAtlantic’s premiere fundraising event. In its first year, Dancing in the Starlight ranked 12th on Revamp.com’s 2011 Lists: As Long as We’re Having Fun, a compilation of the most fun events in Washington, DC. This year, the event will feature a DJ, dancing, a robust silent auction and open bar, as well as swag bags full of goodies for guests who purchase VIP tickets. The VIP ticket also includes an extra hour and a half of partying.

Starlight Children’s Foundation is the leading organization in the nation helping hospitalized children and their families cope with their pain, fear and isolation through entertainment, education and family activities. Since 1999, Starlight MidAtlantic has provided 15 million hours of entertainment to 275,000 children in 110 hospitals throughout Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia.
