In 2006, the Georgetown Jingle was created by the Four Seasons Hotel Washington, JDS Designs, Inc., The Washington Design Center, and the Georgetown BID to raise money for pediatric oncology programs in the Washington DC Metro area. Thanks to the generosity of area businesses, restaurants, and design professionals, the Georgetown Jingle has raised $970,000 for the Pediatric Hematology, Oncology, Blood & Marrow Transplantation Program at Georgetown University Hospital.

The purpose of this family-friendly event is to celebrate the fashions of the holiday season and to support families battling cancer. In 2009, the committee is delighted to extend our support to two programs at Georgetown University Hospital. We will again support the hospital's pediatric bone marrow transplantation program and their Childhood Cancer Survivorship Program, both led by Dr. Aziza Shad. It is our continued goal to help Dr. Shad and her team establish a comprehensive pediatric clinic and research center benefiting hundreds of children in our area.
