Each child is partnered with a volunteer to learn the essence of teamwork, have a mentor, and also bond over a sense of camaraderie. DFKDC Holiday Celebration: The DFKDC Holiday Celebration is more than a seasonal party; it is our culminating year-end event that gives our participants (the beneficiaries of our free DFKDC clinics) the opportunity to “pay-compassion-forward”. Participants engage in a variety of philanthropic activities at the Holiday Celebration including wrapping presents for underprivileged children; making holiday cards for Veterans, and more.Your Path To Success (YPTS): YPTS concept derived from the need to provide DFKDC participants with resources to expand and grow after their time in DFKDC clinics.

Washington’s newest premiere destination for the city’s most elite and sophisticated crowd. This luxurious 4,600 square foot nightclub and event space will provide an unparalleled nightlife experience in DC. The venue has been designed from the ground-up using the latest innovations and design concepts from premiere New York City venues and bringing them to the nation’s capital. The Huxley boasts two beautiful rooms that replicate rooms you would find in an embassy or classic hotel, bringing pieces of the old world into the District. Owners Ryan Seelbach and Eric Lund collaborated diligently for a year putting together an outstanding team to ensure the best customer experience and décor. Seelbach, former Manager of Business Operations of TAO Group in Las Vegas remarks: “It is extremely rare in Washington hospitality to be given a blank canvas to design your dream venue. Often times, operators just slap on new finishes and new names to old restaurants, nightclubs, and bars. Thanks to the strength of our management team, we were able to build a completely new high-end hospitality venue in a very unique space that features high ceilings and an expansive ground level layout. The efficient design of our venue, coupled with a rigorous training program for our employees, will help us deliver true ‘Vegas-Style’ customer service.” Lund adds: “At the end of the day, all venues are selling the same alcohol products so the key is to provide value to patrons through a better overall experience. It’s all about ‘the show’ and it starts at the front door.”The Huxley is perfect for small and large events, corporate happy hours and congressional events— one look inside the space and you will be ready to plan your dream event inside our walls.

Since it’s creation, Women for Women International has empowered over 153,000 women survivors of war to move toward economic self-sufficiency with our year-long program of direct aid, rights education, job skills training, and small business development.

District nightclub is Washington DC's newest addition. With a design unlike any other nightclub in DC, District allows you to experience the coziness of a lounge with the space of an actual nightclub. District will be defined by unparalleled customer service and event experience. For more info, please visit our FB group.
