| Description |
Come experience the magic of opportunity and the miracle of the human spirit at The Fourth Annual Magic & Miracles to Benefit Ready, Willing and Working.
Hosted by WAMU Radio Host Kojo Nnamdi, the fabulous and inspiring event will honor Nancy Squires, Founder of The Squires Group for her ongoing support and dedication to the RWW program.
In attendance will be George and Harriet McDonald, co-founders of The Doe Fund (Ready, Willing & Able) in New York City. Their vision and many years of successfully implementing programs that provide life-changing opportunities for thousands of homeless and formerly incarcerated individuals inspired the creation of Ready, Willing & Working in Washington, DC, and is what keeps us pushing for growth so we can serve many more who want and deserve a spot in our program.
