Around the corner from Rock Creek parkway, nestled between the West End and Dupont Circle neighborhoods, a new Shell station has opened at 2200 P Street NW in Washington, D.C. On a hot summer day at the end of July, in partnership with WPGC 95.5 and Shack N'd Pack, a grand opening event was held in celebration of the new location. The first ninety-five customers were greeted with gas cards and Shell branded and WPGC giveaways. There were ice-cold freshments and ice cream to help keep customers cool and make the event a fun community event! 

During these unprecedented times the fight for healthy babies is more important than ever.   Due to the COVID-19 pandemic this year’s March for Babies events have moved online.   On Friday, March 1^st a local rally was held virtually by the Washington DC March of Dimes team in place of the normal event at Nationals Park.  Emcees Jonathan and Hannah Allen provided updates on all of the great work the March of Dimes team is doing in response to COVID-19.   Participants were encouraged to share “Tik-Toks” and their own personal walking journeys with the hashtag #MarchforBabies.   If you are interested in donating to the March for Babies click here.
