Perhaps you’ve never called them in an hour of need, but if you needed to they’d be there. The Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Red Cross (SEPA) that is.
There when you need them most ~ SEPA
The SEPA is proud to be one of the largest chapters in the entire country and in 2003 became the first chapter to have their own Red House, a temporary housing facility for victims of disaster. An organization that provides necessary services and aid to millions of people every day, requires support from their community. The American Red Cross is a charitable organization, not a government agency. It depends on volunteers and the generosity of people like you to perform their mission, and one method of gaining support is through the American Red Cross’ Annual Red Ball Gala, an evening of celebration, collaboration and charity.
Since being founded by Clara Barton in 1881, the Red Cross has been a consistent lifeline for people when they need us the most. The depth and breadth of our services – whenever and wherever they’re called for – is unmatched by any organization in the world.
Philly Happening Editors Christy & Mike at the 2012 Red Ball
The 2013 Red Ball Gala will be held on March 9th at the Please Touch Museum of Philadelphia. A festive evening of spectacular food from local caterer’s and restaurants, spirits and good old fashion fun complete with a majestic carousel. A variety of participating restaurants will serve up amazing bites of decadent food to dazzle your taste-buds, as guests cast their vote for the “Best Restaurant” of the evening. The party really gets hopping with the sounds of CTO Artists and the smooth jazz music of Gerald Veasley who will perform in the exclusive VIP area.
Guests are welcome to play and explore the numerous exhibits of the Please Touch Museum, bid on fantastic silent auction items sponsored by Macy’s Department Store, and socialize with some of the area’s most elite. The Red Ball Gala is a place for locals to mingle with local celebrities, at this annual black-tie affair where everyone has one thing in common, a desire to “Eat, Drink, and be Charitable”.
