Best Buddies to Host Annual Champion of the Year Gala
King of Prussia, PA, November 16, 2023 – Best Buddies International, a nonprofit founded in 1989 by Anthony K. Shriver to establish a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, leadership development, and inclusive living for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), is excited to announce its Champion of the Year Gala hosted by Best Buddies in Philadelphia.
Champion of the Year is an annual fundraising competition featuring a select group of individuals, professionals, and prominent community leaders. These philanthropic trailblazers compete to raise the most funds for Best Buddies and earn the ultimate title of Champion of the Year. By reaching out to the community to raise funds and spread awareness, candidates champion for Best Buddies, our mission, and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The event will take place November 16, 2023, from 6-9 p.m. at Drexelbrook. The Champion of the Year Gala will celebrate the efforts of seven philanthropic leaders from local communities while partying with a purpose to raise funds for Best Buddies programs. The gala will feature a silent and live auction, dinner, cocktails, dancing, a keynote address, and a special awards ceremony. This year’s Champion of the Year Gala will raise funds to support Best Buddies programs for individuals with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities.
By securing a spot at the 2023 Champion of the Year Gala, you will be part of Best Buddies’ goal to expand more opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, leadership development, and inclusive living for individuals with IDD living in the Philadelphia region.
