As we move forward into 2024, the Zinzi Christmas Party continues to shine as an unforgettable celebration of generosity and community spirit. For over 25 years, this cherished annual tradition has brought people together to support charitable causes and make a lasting impact on the lives of those in need.
The Zinzi Christmas Party proudly partnered with Capital Area Food Bank, an organization that leads the fight against hunger and food insecurity in the DC Metropolitan region. Through their work, they provide access to over 50 million meals annually for those struggling with hunger. In addition to this partnership, many other local charities were supported through the generosity of the Zinzi Christmas Party’s attendees and sponsors.
The 2023 event raised $51,000 in donations, adding to the Zinzi Christmas Party’s total contributions of over $1.6 million distributed to local and national charities. These funds will help provide essential services such as counseling, fostering, education, residential care, and training to vulnerable children, young people, and families.
In addition to its charitable efforts, the Zinzi Christmas Party plays a vital role in contributing to the Washington, DC economy. By employing local residents and partnering with various service providers, the event helps stimulate the local economy. Hosting events at historical venues in the DC area also contributes to the maintenance and upkeep of the city's iconic monuments and facilities. Each year, the Zinzi Christmas Party unites the DC restaurant and bar community—both in the heart of Washington, DC and its surrounding suburbs—around a shared purpose: to give back to those in need and foster a spirit of camaraderie within the hospitality industry.
“For over 25 years, the Zinzi Christmas Party has been a symbol of hope, celebration, and giving back,” said [Zinzi Family Member/Representative]. “What began as a small family gathering in Northern Virginia has grown into the premier holiday event for DC’s bar, restaurant, and nightclub industry, while maintaining our commitment to helping those in need.”
The success of the Zinzi Christmas Party is made possible by the collaborative efforts of our hosts, sponsors, and corporate partners. Their dedication and generosity helps make this event successful each year. The Zinzi family extends their deepest gratitude to everyone who participated in and supported Zinzi Christmas Party.
As we look ahead, details for the 2024 Zinzi Christmas Party will be announced soon. We are excited to continue our tradition of giving back to the community while uniting people for a night of joy, celebration, and generosity.
