TREE OF LIFE: In keeping with the theme “The Giving Tree� at this year’s gala, a live apple tree in the center of the ballroom greeted nearly 350 guests, including Georgetown Cupcake’s Sophie LaMontagne and former Redskins Mark Rypien. That set the tone for an evening of generous giving with guests bidding for exclusive experiences in a silent auction that helped raise $640,000 for patient teams at the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Children’s National Medical Center, which also provides psychosocial therapy in addition to medical treatment for young patients.
