More than 800 guests filled the ballroom at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel for the Capital Area Food Bank’s 10th Annual Blue Jeans Ball. Guests enjoyed signature cocktails, tastings from restaurants and danced to live music from the D.C. Band Black Tie – all while helping to raise $325,000 for the CAFB! The funds will help the food bank provide healthy, affordable meals to residents struggling with hunger in the Washington metro region.

The event would not have been a success without the generous support from community partners. The food bank is grateful to Marriott Wardman Park Hotel for donating hors d’oeuvres for the event reception; LM&O Advertising for their pro bono graphic design work on event collateral; and Whole Foods Market for being the top event sponsor.
And a special thanks to all the BJB participating restaurants, donors and in-kind donors – for the Blue Jeans Ball would not be what it is today without their generosity.
