YPFP is proud to announce the Second Annual YPFP Date Auction on Friday, June 26th from 9:00pm to 2:00am at the historic City Tavern Club, located at 3206 M Street, NW. Occupying the entire City Tavern Club in the heart of Georgetown, this event is YPFP's largest social function of the year and is one of DC's not-to-be-missed social events of the season.
We are happy to announce that we have fashion designer and “District Dish” contributor, Ebong Eka, as our Master of Ceremonies. We are also thrilled that Ebong and Pamela Sorenson of “Pamela’s Punch” will be acting as the auctioneers and are sure to get the party revved up.
