Children’s National: Make March Matter at CityCenterDC
About The Event
This year CityCenterDC is partnering with Children’s National Medical Center in their Make March Matter campaign to spread awareness and support children medical care. On both Friday, March 16 and Saturday, March 17, they will have the Children’s National bloodmobile onsite taking blood donations and many fun activities for children and adults to participate in, to show their support. Many of our CityCenterDC retailers will be participating in this great cause by donating a portion of their proceeds, from both days, to Children’s National. Shop at David Yurman, kate spade new york, Morgenthal Frederics, Vince and Zadig & Voltaire to show your support or feel free to stop by and participate in one of their events!
