The designers donate their time, talents and all materials for the displays. ““Each year the creativity and generosity of the Jingle designers grows exponentially,” says Georgetown Jingle Design Chair Michael Roberson of Michael Roberson Interior Design. “The imaginative trees and vignettes capture the beauty and spirit of giving that the holidays are all about. The courageous Georgetown pediatric patients and their loving families are the inspiration for the event and each designer creation.”

The trees and vignettes will be on display at the Four Seasons Hotel on December 1, 2011. Each festive creation will be available for purchase for a stated “buy it now” price on December 1. Georgetown Jingle attendees can bid on the remaining inspired holiday décor during the event’s silent auction, which also will include getaway packages, spa treatments, sports tickets, children’s gifts, among other sought-after items.

The event, co-chaired by Cynthia Bruno and Tammy Darvish, also features culinary samplings from top area restaurants, holiday music, live entertainment, the DC Magazine Sports Lounge and a CVS/pharmacy Children’s Workshop where young guests decorate cookies, create festive cards, enjoy kid-friendly food and meet Santa. 

Over the past five years, the Georgetown Jingle has raised $1.7 million for pediatric oncology programs.  The event benefits the Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant Unit at Georgetown University Hospital. With Georgetown Jingle funds, the unit, in collaboration with Duke University and the National Institutes of Health, will be fully operational in 2011.

The Georgetown Jingle will continue to support the Childhood Cancer Survivorship Program and, this year, will expand its support to include the development of a palliative care program, devoted to relieving pain and providing physical, psychological, and spiritual comfort to patients. The programs are directed by Dr. Aziza Shad, one of the region’s most respected oncologists.

The Georgetown Jingle will be held at Washington, DC, on Sunday, December 11, from 4 to 8 pm. Tickets are $150 per person, $350 for families of four, $50 for kids 3-18, and free for children under 2. For more information about the event, visit www.georgetownjingle.com.
