To our partners, sponsors, and friends: thank you. This year's Annual Gala was more than a celebration. It was a room full of people who believe, as we do, that opportunity should be within reach for every family in our region. That belief, matched with your generosity, is what makes our work possible.
We are deeply grateful to our Premier Sponsor, PECO, and to Thomas Jefferson Health Plans, Bank of America, Venerable, Comcast, Wells Fargo, Aramark, Independence Blue Cross, The Cigna Group, and Rivers. Your investment does not simply fund an evening. It funds scholarships, first homes, new businesses, second chances, and healthier communities across our 10-county region.
Thank you as well to our honorees, whose leadership set the tone for the night: Legends and Legacy Award recipient Greg Deavens, Community Legacy Honoree Michael Coard, and our Honorary Chair, Patty Jackson. Thank you to our performers and hosts who brought the room to life, including Grammy-nominated artist Amerie, DJ AKTIVE, and Master of Ceremonies Tiffany Bacon. And thank you to every guest, volunteer, and staff member who made the evening what it was.
Relive the night
We invite you to relive the celebration and see the faces behind the mission. Visit our Gala landing page to browse the full photo gallery, revisit the highlights, and see the community that showed up to move our work forward.
Take a moment to look through the gallery. You will see joy, purpose, and the power of a community that refuses to let opportunity be reserved for a few.
The evening asked something of all of us, and you answered. As we continue this work through the rest of the year, we do it with gratitude for partners like you. Thank you for standing with the Urban League of Greater Philadelphia. The future we want will not happen on its own. It will happen because we build it together.
