LIGHT UP THE SEASON

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26 – SUNDAY, JANUARY 22

5 PM – 10 PM

Light Up the Season is a family-friendly event that supports the inspiring patients, families and staff of Children’s National Hospital. Traditionally, the event pairs patients with a local designer to create festive holiday trees and decorations. The Four Seasons Washington, DC prominently displays this artwork during the holiday season. This year, the Four Seasons engaged a premier, Chicago-based, event design and décor company to transform the property into a magical, multi-dimensional holiday dreamscape. This firm will work with Children’s National patients to create one-of-a-kind holiday trees, menorahs and other festive décor.

This year, we will celebrate Light Up the Season after Thanksgiving through the New Year.

Proceeds from Light Up the Season directly support the hospital in the form of Annual Grants and Major Gift programs. Funding advances world-class pediatric care and research to find new treatments and cures. It supports critical medical equipment, improves the patient hospital experience and provides for professional development of doctors, nurses and hospital staff, as well as numerous initiatives to deliver healthcare to families in under-resourced communities.
