“Room to Rebloom” held its 2nd Annual Rebloom on the Roof cocktail fundraiser at The Graham Georgetown to celebrate the power of design to change lives for survivors of domestic violence with Board Members Liz Levin, Kia Weatherspoon, Enid McKitrick, Lyn McGann, Christie Stute and Victoria Sanchez who were joined by Co-Hosts Barry Dixon and Will Thomas. Thomas and Weatherspoon led “Raise the Paddle,” resulting in spontaneous donations during the event, while House of Ruth staff talked about the positive effect Room to Rebloom is having in their community.

 “Our 2nd annual Rebloom on the Roof was our biggest fundraising effort to date, thanks to our superstar hosts, Barry Dixon and Will Thomas,” said Room to Rebloom Board Member Liz Levin, who is principal of Liz Levin Interiors. “The outpouring of support from our design community was incredible! Sponsors, donors and designers came together to unite their creative powers in the spirit of uplifting those who need it most. Rooftop cocktails with DC’s design glitterati is one fabulous way to kick off summer and grow the good.”
