1. Knock Out Abuse and Fight Night Gala
This two-in-one party encompasses the Knock Out Abuse Against Women gala—a lavish women-only fete for 650 at the Ritz-Carlton, Washington, D.C.—while 2,000 men simultaneously enjoy Fight Night, an evening of boxing matches at the Hilton Washington. The two parties join for a gender-neutral after-party. The dual fund-raisers for anti-domestic-violence causes and the health care nonprofit Fight for Children return November 5.

2. The Opera Ball
The Washington National Opera’s elite event brings some 500 guests—including Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and Congressman Dennis Kucinich in 2008—to a different ambassador’s residence each year. The German ambassador hosted this year’s June 5 ball.

3. YouthAIDS Benefit Gala
Ashley Judd, Sharon Osbourne, and Anna Kournikova were among the 550 guests at Population Services International’s 2008 benefit at the Ritz-Carlton, Tysons Corner. The rock 'n' roll theme party, which raised $1.2 million for the organization, returns this November. MORE >>

Throwing an event in the middle of the National Mall can be a challenge, especially when the weather will not cooperate. But for the Trust for the National Mall’s second annual luncheon on Thursday, freelance planner Allison Signorelli was prepared for anything, including the rain. “We have Boy Scouts volunteering to walk guests from their cars with our signature umbrellas; we’ve come up with an evacuation plan if there’s lightning; and we laid the floor a lot later than we normally do because it was so muddy,” said Signorelli.

Yesterday wasn't exactly the best day for a garden party, with rain pouring and a storm brewing. But the Trust for the National Mall went ahead with its inaugural benefit luncheon, held under a series of circus-style century tents in the shadow of the Washington Monument, with the Capitol in sight. "We have 500 umbrellas," said freelance planner Allison Signorelli, who produced the event with Trust president Caroline Cunningham.

For the decor and flowers, Signorelli brought on New York-based planner David Tutera, who envisioned an English garden setting for the lunch. "The idea he had was, this is what the Mall is [with the view] and this is what the Mall could be if we had manicured gardens and beautiful flowers," Signorelli said. MORE >>
