                    together business leaders, community members, and fashion
                    enthusiasts for an evening of cocktails, philanthropy and
                    fashion. The event benefits St. Jude Children's Research
                    Hospital(R), which is leading the way the world understands,
                    treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-
                    threatening diseases.





                   CH Carolina Herrera will present a runway show of the brand's
                    Spring/Summer 2019 collection in CityCenterDC's 22,000
