On October 13, 2011, Manna celebrated the 16th Annual Friends of Manna Silent Auction and Reception at the Carnegie Institution. The Manna American Dream Award presentation was the highlight of the evening’s events; this is the second year Manna has awarded individuals who have significantly contributed to the affordable housing community. This year’s silent auction items also added an exciting element to the evening. Guests were able to bid on terrific items such as two round trip JetBlue tickets, Moët Hennessy Gift Sets, tours of the National Zoo, DC Aquarium, and local vineyards. The evening concluded with a presentation from Wells Fargo of a $20,000 check to Manna in support of the work Manna does in the affordable housing community in Washington, DC.
Manna would like to give a special thanks to Mike Golden, Regional President of Greater Washington DC Wells Fargo, who served as the Honorary Chair, the auction committee, event volunteers, Manna staff and all of the guests for making this Friends of Manna event successful.
