The 14th Annual Chance for Life Poker Tournament and Taste Experience, presented by Boeing, hosted by MGM National Harbor, and powered by RedPeg took place on Saturday, March 9.
The charity event raised a record-breaking $2.1 million to benefit local pediatric cancer research initiatives at Children’s National Health System and Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. The fundraising continues as Boeing graciously agreed to match donations up to $100k for every $100 donated here from now until March 31. Such an incredible time and definitely a #partywithapurpose!
Following the all-day Poker Tournament at MGM, guests were invited to eat, drink, and dance the night away at the evening’s Taste Experience curated by 2019 Culinary Chair Casey Patten.
The Theater at MGM National Harbor was transformed into a Vegas-sized fete complete with champagne aerialists, a light-up dance floor, an amazing DJ, fun photo opportunities, and so much more! Guests were surprised with a special musical performance by Robin Thicke.
The best part about the event? All of the amazing tasting stations!
