Cradles to Crayons


My dear friend Maggie Norrett is hosting the young friends Cradle to Crayons event this weekend. We know what you’re thinking: “I wish someone would hold an event where I could help homeless and low-income children, meet and network with other Philadelphia-area young professionals, and have a great time, all in one night.”

Well, your prayers have been answered: the Young Friends of Cradles to Crayons will be holding their annual fund-raiser extravaganza this Saturday, February 23rd at J.D. McGuillicuddy’s in Manayunk from 8 – 11 PM. A mere $30 gets you in the door, and buys you:

• All the food you can eat
• Access to an OPEN BAR (which means
this is a 21+ event).
• The chance to win awesome door prizes and
bid on some amazing items in our silent
auction
• Live music by the celebrated Brian Aglira,
and a DJ spinning later in the evening

On top of that, you’ll get to mix and mingle with a group of great Philly young professionals, make some new friends and possibly new business connections.

Most importantly, by funding Cradles to Crayons in its mission to provide everyday essentials to children in poverty, your ticket purchase will directly benefit some of the neediest kids in the greater Philadelphia region.

Buy your tickets now; they’re selling fast, and if you wait to buy at the door the price jumps to $40.

To reserve tickets, call Maggie at 484.213.7011 or 215-836-0958 x203, or e-mail Maggie@cradlestocrayons.org.
