The WHCA’s next annual dinner is on Saturday April 27, 2024 at the Washington Hilton.

Our annual dinner is our main source of revenue to finance all of our work, including support of the journalists working to cover the president, events and programs to educate the public about the value of the First Amendment and a free press, and scholarships to help the next generation of journalists.
