Special Events
Thank you for supporting the 8th Annual Apple Fest!
This year's Apple Fest benefitted two outstanding programs - the Health Tech Program and Child Protection Program - and their impact on children and youth at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children. Program Directors - Barbara Liccio (Health Tech) and Dr. Maria McColgan (Child Protection) were recognized for their unyielding dedication to the success and safety of youth. Each program will receive $20,000 to continue its service to the area of Eastern North Philadelphia surrounding the Hospital.
Over 200 individuals attended the event on Thursday, November 10, 2011 held at Le Meridien Philadelphia. Guests enjoyed delicious hors d'oeuvres in the Ballroom and a well-stocked candy table for dessert. Local savory beers - Walt Wit, Joe Porter and Kenzinger - were provided by Philadelphia Brewing Company and harvest cocktails were generously sponsored by Southern Wine & Spirits.
The evening's special moments and snapshots of our generous supporters were expertly captured by Brian Miller of Chorus Photography. You can see Brian's work and photos of the event by visiting the Foundation's Flickr page.
Guests were invited to gather friends and colleagues to "smile for the camera" and remember the night with instant framed photos courtesy of Universal Party Entertainment.
We are so grateful to those who provided exceptional items for our silent auction. Winners enjoyed everything from a week-long stay in Puerto Aventura, Mexico to a custom made men's suit from Astor & Black to a weekend getaway for two to the stunning hotel marina at Forty 1 North and more!
And to the victor went the Apple products....one lucky winner walked away with 2 64GB wi-fi enabled iPad2s and two $100 iTunes and AppStore gift cards.
We are so very grateful to our amazing group of sponsors. Each year, we are overwhelmed by the generosity of individual and corporate donors who are the first to support the outstanding work of the programs at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children. Thank You!
