Norton to Welcome D.C. Children to Annual UPO Holiday Party at the National Building Museum, Today

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The United Planning Organization (UPO) Inspire Foundation, in conjunction with Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), will host their annual holiday party for underprivileged children in the District of Columbia today, Thursday, December 14, 2017, from, 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., at the National Building Museum (401 F. St. NW). The annual party provides children with gifts, as well as a visit from Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus, and has been held during Christmas time ever since Norton has served in Congress. Norton and UPO normally host the children on Capitol Hill, but the largest reception room used in the past is under construction.

"You know we are in the holiday season when UPO and our office get together to host our annual holiday party for D.C. kids," Norton said. "Seeing the joy on the faces of these D.C. children as they receive presents that might not otherwise be available is always a highlight of my year. This event showcases the tremendous generosity of residents and businesses in our city and region."
