October's Best: Thank You to our Sponsors

October's Best:

Celebrating Martha's Table

On October 26^th a number of Martha’s Table’s friends and supporters gathered at the Turkish Embassy Residence for an event called October’s Best: Celebrating Martha’s Table.  October’s Best honored Dr. Richard Lodish the Associate Head of School and Director of Special Projects for Sidwell Friends School and a long time friend of Martha’s Table.  During his 31 year association with us he educated hundreds of Sidwell children about the issues Martha’s Table addresses. 

October’s Best was a great success, it raised more than $121,000 (net) for programs that find short-term and long-term solutions to poverty.   Thanks to many generous in-kind donors who donated everything from the space, to flowers, food, spirits and time, we spent less than $9,000 to make it all happen, meaning that 93% of everything that was raised could support our work.  We want to extend a special thank you to all those who made this event possible, in particular:
