WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- The 15th Annual Children's Inn Gala, which raises money for the Inn's services to sick children and their families, is around the corner.

The Children's Inn Gala Chair, Diane Pearson, joined JC Hayward on Tuesday to discuss the gala and the charity, which helps families all over the country.

The Children's Inn at NIH provides a home for patients and their families who receive treatment for life-threatening diseases. The funding of the Inn solely comes from outside donors such as AFCEA Bethesda.

In order to sponsor a table at the gala, you must call Aileen Bloom at 703-629-1347. This year, the event takes place on Saturday, March 23 at Marriott Wardman Park, located at 2660 Woodley Road NW, DC.

Those who are unable to attend the gala, but still want to make a contribution can do so by participating in their raffles. The winners get a trip to London and Barcelona.

BETHESDA, Md. (WUSA) -- The Giant supermarket on Westbard avenue in Bethesda is stocked and ready for all those procrastinators waiting till the last minute to get Super Bowl party essentials. 

From assorted party platers to cakes decked out in Ravens and 49ers colors management at the supermarket says, "we're ready."

People we spoke with WUSA9 say the popular food items this year are still the classics. Chicken wings, tortilla chips and salsa, veggie plates, burgers, hot dogs, baked goods, and beer continue to top the shopping lists.

Both San Francisco and Baltimore are popular cities for their local brews, so Talbert's Ice and Beverage on River Road so it only fitting to have specials on all their Baltimore and San Francisco beer selections. 

Despite a nationwide rumor of a chicken wing shortage in the past weeks, WUSA9 is happy to report all rumors are false.
