Ah, to dance under the stars. A glamorous night amid moonlight and monuments are once again in order at this year’s second annual Ball on the Mall, taking place on Saturday, May 8, from 8:00 pm to 11:30 pm.
 
The Trust for the National Mall’s L’Enfant Society will host the posh fundraiser at Madison Drive and 13th Street on the National Mall to help restore the historic landmark, considered to be America’s front yard. The black-tie event will feature live music, hors d’oeuvres, elaborate buffets, signature cocktails and complimentary valet parking.
 
Both Time Warner and HBO are this year’s presenting sponsors. Tickets cost $135 for L’Enfant Society members and $150 for guests and are tax deductible partially. VIP reception and dinner tickets are $295 for members and $325 for guests. Note: the VIP reception and dinner will run from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm.  This fundraiser sold out last year, so find out how to make reservations now. 
 
The L’Enfant Society is a young professionals group that raises money and awareness to support the underfunded and overused Mall, which receives 25 million visitors a year.
