THE EVENT An intimate gathering at Danielle Parris and Thomas Canfield’s Georgetown residence for National Student Partnerships. NSP helps less fortunate individuals locate employment, affordable housing and healthcare. THE SCENE Twenty-one year-old Thomas Healy gave a moving testimonial, about moving to D.C. four years ago and ending up homeless. “The stress of living on the bo om rung of life’s ladder has a profound effect on your internal motivation,” said Thomas. “You lose the ability to focus on anything except the next meal and the next place to sleep.” With NSP’s help he secured a job, an apartment and is on his way to college – at Columbia University, no less. Marne Levine chaired the evening, which more than doubled last years efforts by raising over $100,000. THE GUESTS The host commi ee included Bob Woodward, Ann and Vernon Jordan, Catherine and Wayne Reynolds, Emily Lenzner, Evan Ryan and Tony Blinken and Jane Cafritz.
