Freedom to Express: The HeART of Community

We had an unforgettable evening at the HeART of Community Gala, where excitement and inspiration collided. Attendees were captivated by breathtaking performances from trailblazing young artists, including visual and spoken word talents, dancers, and vocalists.

Co-Hosted by Doug Kammerer (Chief Meteorologist, NBC4) and Brianna Stoute (Merrily We Roll Along – Broadway) and emceed by Washington Media’s power couple Allison Seymour (Get Up DC – WUSA9) and Marc Clarke (Fox 45 – Baltimore) it was an incredible celebration in support of artistic expression for youth in the region and those served by NCCF!
