Withum, is hosting our inaugural “Withum Big 5 Open Bar
Series” which are game watches that highlight the Big 5 college basketball
games. The events will benefit the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House and
Coaches vs. Cancer. The events will be held at Tradesman’s in Philadelphia.
Details of each event are as follows:
- November 5th: Drexel vs.
Temple, time 8 pm
- November 13th: “November
Madness Doubleheader” event
- Villanova
vs. Ohio State, 7:00pm
- Penn
vs. LaSalle, 7:00pm
- December 4th: Villanova
vs. Penn, 6:30pm
- December 10th: St.
Joseph’s vs. Temple, 7 pm
Currently, we have “Brotherly Love Partnerships” with
Wawa, Philly Pretzel Factory, and Herr’s. These partners have pledged to donate
some of their products to be distributed to the guests of the events and to the
Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House.
We also have Fran Dunphy attending the November 13th
event where he will guest bartend the event. Steve Lappas, who is the former
coach of Villanova is getting back to us any day if he can make any of the
events.
The goal of these events is to bring out the alumni bases
of the Philly Six schools (Philadelphia Big 5 schools and Drexel University) to
mingle and network while giving back during the holiday season. We will also be
hosting a silent auction at each event to bid on coach’s memorabilia from each
Philly Six team and the Philadelphia Eagles.
All proceeds, sponsorship funds, and monetary donations
will go towards the two charities as Withum has already secured the location
and paid all costs for the open bar. Each guest will pay $30 for access to the
open bar and will also receive a wrist band from the Philadelphia Ronald
McDonald House, as well as a “Philly Grab Bag” filled with product donations
from our Brotherly Love Partners.
