Dress Code: Business or Cocktail Attire
Please join Uplift Center for Grieving Children for a meaningful evening that has become our signature fundraising event, ensuring all children in Philadelphia can access free, quality grief support.
This year’s gala celebrates two individuals in our community who make a difference in the lives of grieving children: Eileen R. Heisman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the National Philanthropic Trust and Danny Stein, a longtime Uplift volunteer.
The program for an UPLIFTing evening 2023 includes cocktails and dinner at Vie by Cescaphe with an exciting live auction, as well as an online silent auction. Whether you join us online or in person, you’ll support Uplift’s mission and enjoy an UPLIFTing evening!
