Who’s Next
Scenes from our 2017 Billy Penn Who’s Next Bash
Fun. Food. Photos.
We at Billy Penn held our 2017 Bash Wednesday night to honor our ever-growing list of Who’s Next honorees. More than 200 partygoers bowled, enjoyed sliders, stuffed mushrooms and grilled shrimp, played arcade games, danced to the selections of DJ Curtis Remarc and networked.
Some of Philly’s rising young professionals attended. State Rep. Jordan Harris and political strategist Malcolm Kenyatta were there, as were other Who’s Next honorees like Omar Woodard, executive director of the GreenLight Fund; Dawn McDougall, executive director of Code For Philly; Lauren Vidas, director of government relations for PFM Group; Teresa Lundy, principal at TML Communications; and many more.
Our event would not have been possible were it not for the fine people at North Bowl, and our fantastic sponsors: The Knight Foundation, North Bowl, VERTS Mediterranean Grill, DiBruno’s, Clique Cam, Relay for Life, First Hand, Lyft, LiveNation, HerCorner, Sweetgreen, Brownstein Group, GForce Promotions, The Shops at Liberty Place, Wapner Newman, Grateful Plate, Sparkling Ice, and Sugarhouse Casino.
Here are some of the photos from a fantastic night of games, drinks and good times with some of our wonderful followers and friends.
