Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Oct. 10 awards banquet honoring Peggy LaPorte has been canceled.

The Association of Washington Generals recently announced that Laporte — who is president of Friends United to Shelter the Indigent, Oppressed and Needy (FUSION) — will receive the organization’s “Washingtonian of the Year” award.

The association will set the awards ceremony at a later date, officials said.
