Wherever there’s a publicity stunt in D.C., there’s a good chance Winter — president of Brotman-Winter-Fried Communications — has something to do with it. Winter promotes one of D.C’s biggest social events of the year — Fight Night, which is scheduled for Thursday. Fight Night was founded in 1990 and has raised millions for children’s charities. The event hearkens back to a time when men wore tuxedos and smoked cigars, and boxing was king. Tell me a little about Fight Night.
Fight Night started out as a way for Washington’s good-ol’-boy network to mix and mingle and schmooze. … It starts out with a silent auction and a huge cocktail reception. Then everyone goes into the ballrooms and has dinner. And it’s just what you’d expect — steaks, baked potato, cheesecake, top-shelf cocktails. … About 2,500 people attend every year. Last year we raised $2.2 million for FightForChildren.org.
