As the sun sets on the Georgetown waterfront, inside Tony and Joe’s, women are showing off their pearls for a good cause! The Nina Hyde Center for Breast Cancer Research will benefit from the proceeds of today’s event. This event will help bring this continued fight to the forefront. Using the oyster is an ingenious idea (from Elizabeth Scott’s Good Eats Media) since the oyster shell placed back in the water will regrow.

Attendees were encouraged to drop in their business cards to hopefully win some raffle prizes. While attendees mixed and mingled with Mother of Pearl, Nycci Nellis of The List Are You On It and WTOP’s Foodie and the Beast, they enjoyed the above signature hors d’oeuvres.
One element of the event that I personally enjoyed was seeing the photos of Breast Cancer Survivors (Jacqui DePas Photography: jacqui@jacquidepas.com). This personalized touch (see the below images) made the evening even more enjoyable because it got you thinking about the strength of these women. October is Breast Cancer Month and this was a nice way to support your sisters and eat some good food.
