Charity galas in full-swing this fall season -: "Despite the recent downturn in the economy, Fall Fête 'exceeded expectations this year' says Guiter. With a sold-out crowd of 930, this 'D.C. tradition' raised $89,000 in profits thanks, in large part, to ticket sales. This year's profits from the gala event will benefit the Corcoran's ArtReach program, which has provided art education to D.C. inner-city's youth for the past 16 years."
