The Georgetown Jingle celebrates the
season for a worthy cause on December 15

E

ach year, DC’s Four Seasons Hotel
brims with holiday cheer during the
Georgetown Jingle, which raises
money for Pediatric Oncology programs
at Georgetown University Hospital. The
2013 event will showcase holiday trees and
vignettes by 19 area designers, who are
paired with young patient ambassadors for
inspiration. Their creations will be for sale
beginning November 27.
The Jingle is organized in two parts,
both featuring silent auctions and raffles.

Festivities from 1 to 4 p.m. focus on crafts
for children, visits with Santa and kidfriendly cuisine. A party from 7 to 11 p.m.
includes cocktails, restaurant tastings and
live music by Pamela Stanley.
This year, designers Shazalynn CavinWinfrey, Wendy Danziger and Gloria
Blalock carried the Jingle spirit into a new
project, designing seven suites pro bono
in the hospital’s new pediatric hematology
and oncology wing. These rooms—funded
by proceeds from the Georgetown Jingle

and christened the Jingle Suites—provide
accommodations for patients and their
families during treatment. “Kids most
want to be home during treatments,”
Cavin-Winfrey explains, “so we wanted to
convey a home environment.” Cheerful façades adorn each entry, while low lighting,
fridges, fold-out sofas and rug-like floor
patterns enhance each interior.
Since 2006, the Georgetown Jingle has
raised $1.5 million. For tickets, visit george
