On Saturday February 23, the Young Ambassador’s Council of The Children’s Inn at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is hosting a fundraising gala sure to warm up your winter and your heart.   Trade your snow boots and down coats for heels and “creative cocktail” attire and buy your tickets today to this year’s WINNter Affair gala, which will be held at the House of Sweden.

Last year, the Inaugural WINNter Affair attracted hundreds of young professionals and raised more than $30,000 for The Children’s Inn.  This year’s gala is expected to be another sold-out success. Guests will enjoy cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and dancing with live music by The Morrison Brothers Band, an award-winning, multi-talented hometown band.
