My husband and I were excited to be invited as guests to attend the annual Prevent Cancer Gala<\/a>, held at the National Building Museum<\/a>. Peter’s Committee Chairman, Congressman Fred Upton and colleague Diana DeGette were the honorees for their tireless efforts to introduce and push legislation through Congress to help find, fund and speed the process for 21st Century Cures for today’s illnesses.<\/p>\n

The theme was La Vie En Rose, which was fitting in light of the Paris terrorist attacks<\/a> that linger in our collective consciousness. In fact, as I write this post, the remaining terrorist has just been caught in his hometown in Brussels. I hope the French get the information they need and that will help protect other countries from terrorist activities.<\/p>\n

\"Prevent<\/a>BizzBash<\/a> rates the gala as one of Washington’s top events in 2014. It was definitely decorated to the nines, complete with a huge Eiffel Tower replica at the bar with bartenders in berets serving French 75 champagne cocktails<\/a>. Other French flair attributes included: cabaret dancers, antiqued-mirrored rectangular tables, beautiful floral bouquets of spring flowers in tall vases and individually set en masse down the center of the table. The food was delicious and typically French: bouillabaisse with mussels (my favorite) in a saffron aioli, charred beef tenderloin in red wine jus and cauliflower puree, poirier (pear) au chocolat (chocolate sponge cake with Poire William ice cream) and a demitasse caf\u00e9 or tea with macaroons, cappuncino eclairs and almond madeleines. Surprisingly, this was not all that filing.<\/p>\n

I wish I had taken pictures but unfortunately I got so caught up in having a good time that it was not on my radar, except for the first floor shot above. We dress up so infrequently in ballroom attire — long dress and tux — that it would have been nice to document. Dommage! <\/span>Tant pis, pour les temps prochain!<\/p>\n

\"Prevent<\/a>You can see many more pictures on the Prevent Cancer Organization’s Facebook page<\/a>, but here are a few highlights and with some of the fun folks we met, like the Energy & Commerce Committee’s young staff.<\/p>\n

\"Prevent<\/a> \"ECC<\/a>The French Ambassador spoke. Andrea Roane<\/a>, our local news anchor was the MC and the most clever method was used for their fundraising. Upon arriving, guests registered their cell phone and credit card with a bevy of young staffers inputting all this info on laptop computers. Guests were then sent a link on their phones to download the Prevent Cancer Org app. There was a floor auction in the bar area that could also be bid online and during the meal. This raised 1 million dollars! Another $40,000 in cash donations was raised during the evening from guests giving any increment using the app and their name would be displayed on the large teleprompters that were conveniently located on either side of the room. These really helped everyone see and hear the speakers as well as stay informed about the fundraising, which cleverly became a competition with those who gave not only pressing others to donate with their names flashing for all to see but anyone who contributed was handed a flashing necklace. You wouldn’t want to be caught without one. Smart!!<\/p>\n

The most impressive thing, however, remains what this organization does with all the dollars it receives.<\/p>\n

\"Prevent<\/a> \"Prevent<\/a>This is a quick update. “Who” knew Roger Daltrey<\/a> of The Who fame, would be involved in the 21st Century Cures regarding his effort with childhood cancers through Teen Cancer America, the organization he founded with Pete Townsand. This can be viewed via the Energy and Commerce Committee <\/a>hearing just yesterday.<\/p>\n
