5. DC’s Design Best at Design House 2010 April 10-30
The annual DC Design Home brings together Washington, DC’s top interior designers to use the best in today’s home renovation and design in order to transform a house for people to see. This year’s house is the famous Beaux Arts home, once home to Ambassadors of Mauritius and Uruguay and the site of President Truman’s inauguration party.
With over 10,000 square-feet, nine bedrooms, and ten bathrooms, there is plenty of room for each designer to showcase their talents. In fact, each designer redesigns a specific area of the house, so each area will be unique. The house will definitely be interesting to walk through.
Participating designers for this year include Andrew Law, Barry Dixon, and Victoria Sanchez. All proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the Children’s Hospital of the Children’s National Medical Center.

2. Sports Star Waiter Dinner for a Good Cause March 4
Meeting celebrities (or dreaming of meeting them), may be a guilty wish for many of us, but at the 2nd annual Sports Affair: Celebrity Waiter Dinner, you can feel like a star among the stars. Back by popular demand, this event is attended by some of Denver’s hottest athletes, including Denver Nugget J.R. Smith and former Denver Bronco Reggie Rivers. The evening not only includes star athletes, attendees will have dinner, entertainment, and both a live and silent auction. The best part? The Celebrity Waiter Dinner is all for a good cause: the proceeds will go to the Make A Wish Foundation.
4. Rock ‘n Roll Dallas Half Marathon March 14
Who says a marathon is all work and no play? Okay, most marathons are only fun after you’ve finished (and survived!), but the Rock ‘n Roll Dallas Half-Marathon is completely the opposite. Dotted along the 13.1 mile course, there are 20 local bands who will be rocking it out and giving the gifted runners a unique playlist to their marathon running. More than that, there will also be Spirited Cheer Squads if runners need an extra boost. After it’s all done, runners and spectators alike will be able to cool down with a post-marathon concert at the Finish Line Village’s main stage. If this race doesn’t sound cool enough, the run is all for a good cause: The Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the Official National Charity.
