Perspectives Announces 2nd Annual Fall Auction
Perspectives is proud to announce the 2nd Annual Fall Auction, to be held on November 20th at Duane Morris LLP. The auction will be directed by Piervincenzo Russo and run by a Management 100 team from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Last year's auction was an incredible success, raising $6,000 to help support Perspectives' afterschool debate programs, as well as the Philadelphia Debate Institute. The auction's spotlight item was 4 V.I.P tickets to Washington, D.C., donated by Senator Arlen Specter. Vacation packages, gym memberships, fine art and jewelry, and many other items were also available.
This year's auction promises to be another exciting evening, with many fantastic items already secured. We hope that you will join us and purchase tickets.
Event Details: Dress is business casual. Hors d'oeuvres will be served, and an open bar will be available. Entertainment will include a live jazz band, a raffle, and speeches from Perspectives affiliates. The event will be held at Duane Morris LLP, Philadelphia (30 S. 17th Street)
