THE GALA
On Friday, March 22nd, 2024 The Block Gives Back hosted our Gala fundraiser at the Philadelphia Ball Room! It was an amazing night surrounded by so many incredible supports of our organization. Some volunteers were honored for their service and commitment shown throughout 2023. We had a great time trading in our event t-shirts’s and sneakers to see everyone come together dressed up! We look forward to hosting another Gala next year, and most importantly we look forward to seeing you there.
