At the brand new Kastles Stadium at the Wharf on the waterfront, guests got to see the first lady of tennis, superstar Serena Williams, as well as First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama as Williams played her first match back in the U.S. since 2009. A capacity crowd of 2,600 were in attendance with some of the proceeds going to Fashion for Paws benefiting the Washington Humane Society (WHS). The WHS cares for nearly 30,000 animals a year in DC through its broad range of programs and services, taking in an average of 33 animals a day in need of help. Fashion for Paws is a high caliber marketing and fundraising program of the WHS that infuses the nation’s capital with cutting-edge high fashion and luxury lifestyle brand events, drawing an extraordinary crowd of VIP’s, fashion and animal lovers alike.
