The Details

Friday, December 5, 2025
151 St. George Street, National Harbor

Set against the backdrop of National Harbor’s iconic holiday lights, Play It Forward for a Cure invites our community to come together for an evening unlike any other — blending the joy of the holiday season with the electricity of Bobby McKey’s Dueling Pianos, all in support of a future rewritten.

This isn’t just a celebration — it’s a statement. That momentum is building. That we’re no longer waiting for change. We’re creating it.

The Experience

The Reason

The children we represent face a rare, degenerative disease with no approved treatment — one that can steal mobility, speech, and independence before they reach middle school. But science is moving. And so are we.

Thanks to this community, we’ve already launched multiple research initiatives — from gene therapy development to disease modeling — and begun laying the groundwork for real therapeutic options. Now, we’re focused on accelerating progress and closing critical gaps — including preclinical studies and clinical trial readiness.

We started this foundation as two families fighting for our daughters. Today, we’re a growing movement — guiding research, connecting institutions, and redefining what’s possible.

The Extras


National Harbor shines in December — with a 60-foot holiday tree, synchronized light shows, seasonal markets, and some of the best waterfront views in the region. Whether you're coming for the cause or the full experience, we hope you'll stay a little longer.
