We are just a few weeks away from our 25th anniversary celebration on May 4! In recognition of our school’s quarter-century milestone, we’ve expanded our usual annual celebration to a new venue, and lengthened the party to include a special program and dance party to follow.
Tickets are on sale now – get yours while they last!
More about the event:
Venue
This year’s event will be held at The National Museum for American Jewish History’s one-of-a-kind ballroom, which has a terrace and incredible views of the Independence Mall and Philadelphia skyline — a perfect place to celebrate YouthBuild’s history in Philadelphia, and our school’s focus on the future of its young people.
Program & Entertainment
Cocktails and music start at 6 PM, and we will hold a brief program celebrating our history and sponsors and honoring former executive director Simran Sidhu at 8 PM. Our live DJ for this event is DJ G33k, who will keep the party going until 10 PM!
Menu
For the seventh consecutive year, JPM Catering created a custom menu for our event, featuring heavy hors d’ouevres and desserts.
Our open bar will feature wine, local beer, and a signature cocktail. VIP guests will also receive champagne in limited-edition flutes to toast YouthBuild’s legacy of life-changing education and job training!
No celebration would be complete without cake, and we’re grateful to Divine Cakes for donating a custom 25th anniversary cake!
