Last night at Morton Fine Art in Adams Morgan, Ben Olsen unveiled his second annual Night of Art and Fashion to benefit Bread for the City. The turnout was strong, and several members of the Black-and-Red came to show their support, including Bryan Namoff and Clyde Simms. Staff and players mingled with art patrons, fans, and Bread for the City representatives in an effort to raise funds for a noble cause. Olsen's own art was on display alongside the likes of Redskins tight end Chris Cooley and artists like Mike Weber, Ben Ferry, Rosemary Feit Covey, Susan Burnstine, and Choichun Leung. Thanks to all that came to support the event, and when asked if this annual fundraiser will continue now that he is United's Head Coach, Ben Olsen admitted that while he has many responsibilities, his Night of Art and Fashion is a worthy cause that is worth the effort.
