WOMEN FOR WOMEN This emotional yet celebratory evening, which for the first time since 1993 occurred on a different night than its male-dominated counterpart Fight Night, raised over $500,000 to aid victims of domestic violence. Barbara Martin and Jayne Sandman, principals at the public relations firm BrandlinkDC, co-chaired the dinner event that found guests holding hands and wiping away tears as personal stories of abuse were shared from the stage. Later, the same women were laughing and cheering during the live auction for a day of beauty for 10 girlfriends that included blowouts from Drybar (founder Alli Webb was in attendance) and brunch at Fiola Mare courtesy of Maria Trabocchi.
