By all accounts, yesterday evening’s Spirit of Georgetown was a record-breaking success! While there was plenty of DC star power in attendance — including honoree Mayor Bowser , Deputy Mayor HyeSook Chung, Councilman Jack Evans and host Sally Quinn — it was truly the spirit of community that shone brightest. Georgetown Ministry Center would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to all those who attended last night’s benefit and all those who have supported our work in other ways throughout the year — with your generous support, we raised a record-setting amount of more than $130,000 to support our Center operations! Retiring GMC Executive Director, Gunther Stern, aptly described his final Spirit after his nearly 3-decades long tenure as the “best Spirit ever.” We couldn’t agree more!

Stay tuned for more great photos and a full event recap next week.
