Join us December 12, from 4 PM to 6 PM, at the William Ramsay Recreation Center for an evening filled with festive cheer, family fun, and international flair!

Guests are encouraged to take public transit to the event. The closest DASH bus stop to the venue is the N Beauregard St & Sanger Ave stop on Line 35, which runs between the Van Dorn and the Pentagon Metro Stations.
This year, DASH is proud to give back to the community through our ‘DASH for Good’ fundraising campaign, supporting three local charities (ALIVE!, Carpenter’s Shelter, & Casa Chirilagua). Join us in giving back by contributing or stopping by their tables to learn more about volunteer opportunities and other heartwarming initiatives going on year-round.
