June Event - Fado with Project H.O.M.E.

Join us on Tuesday, June 7th for our happy hour at Fado (15th and Locust) benefiting Project H.O.M.E,!  We kept this one close to the Broad Street Line for those of you en route to the Phillies game.  And for those of you who simply want to watch the game, take advantage of Fado's many televisions!  A $10 donation to Project H.O.M.E. gets you one free drink and an hour of free appetizers courtesy of Fado from 5:30-8pm.

Philabundance Filled Up!

Thanks to those of you that made it to our May event, we raised $460 for Philabundance.  Hurrah to you for helping to feed MANY families in our region!

And a big congrats to Maria Zito, winner of the Phillies vs. Dodgers tickets!

May Event - Tavern on Broad with Philabundance!

Put our second event on your radar and more importantly, firmly in your calendar!  We'll be gathering at Tavern on Broad (on Broad between Walnut and Locust) and proceeds will benefit Philabundance*.  Like last time, the donation is $10 and goes straight to the charity.  TOB is providing one free drink, half price drinks and half price appetizers through 8pm for each attendee.  Each $10 donation will provide 20 meals to those in need across the Delaware Valley! 

And guess what else - we will be raffling off three tickets to see the Phillies/Dodgers game at Citizen's Bank Park on June 7th!  Raffle tickets will be an additional $10 donation - or $40 for 5 raffle tickets.  Tickets are in Section 421 - right over home plate!!

And because we know you'll have a great time, you'll want to Save the Date (unless you win those Phillies tickets) for Tuesday, June 7th's event benefiting Project H.O.M.E..  

*Philabundance is the region’s largest hunger relief organization.  In 2009, they acquired 21 million pounds of food, distributing 17 million pounds across the Delaware Valley and exporting 4 million pounds to assist other area food banks.

They serve low income residents at risk of hunger and malnutrition, of which 23% are children and 16% are senior citizens. They get food directly into the communities though their direct services programs or through their network of agencies. These agencies include food cupboards, neighborhood distributions, shelters, emergency kitchens and various social service agencies. Philabundance provides a reliable source of food to 9 counties in the Delaware Valley.

Want To Get More Involved?

We want to highlight a few opportunities to increase your involvement with SCP (though sippin' on a cocktail is a most welcomed method of involvement!) should you be interested.

SCP is always looking for people to add to our PR Team.  We are most in need of individuals with Website smarts and PR connections.  If you like the concept of the organization and are looking for a more long term and higher level of involvement, we'd love to hear from you.

If you like the idea of a higher level of involvement but don't consider yourself to be an expert in either of the areas above or don't have the time to commit to a year of events, please consider acting as a HOST for an upcoming event.  Impress your friends and co-workers with this "elite status" and do some good at the same time!  We challenge each event host to bring a minimum of 10 friends and challenge those friends to bring one friend each (netting 20 attendees...instant party!)  We'll make it as easy as we can for you by providing you with some "invite emails" and even mention you on our website (la di dah!)

To get more involved just drop a line to scphila@gmail.com and let us know how you'd like to help!
