This year, the FCBA Charity Auction celebrates its 35th year! We are glad that you joined us for this worthwhile event to raise money for WJA and the FCBA Foundation. 

The first auction, which was then called the “Charity Holiday Happy Hour,” was held in 1990 at Rhapsody on 20th Street in Dupont Circle. The auction raised approximately $5,000 through a live auction, raffle, and the sale of drinks. 

Over the past 34 years, the FCBA Charity Auction has raised more than $2 million for the DC-based organizations listed below.
