Exelon and Pepco Help Raise Over $800,000 for After Dark @THEARC Gala

The After Dark @THEARC Gala celebrated 13 years of improving the quality of life for children and adults who reside east of the Anacostia River. This year’s event raised over $800,000 for the THEARC’s programs, and included performances from The Washington Ballet, the Levine School of Music, The Boys and Girls Club, and THEARC’s state-of-the-art Frederick Douglass animatron presentation. Over the years the gala has provided community members, political leaders, corporate supporters, and neighboring non-profit organizations an opportunity to witness the talent of local aspiring artists, dancers, and musicians.
