MANNA Celebrates 25 Years of Service with Anniversary Party

MANNA25

The Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance (MANNA) is celebrating 25 years spent providing 11 million meals to 15,000 different clients in the Philadelphia Region. The celebration takes place Friday, October 9, 2015 at thehistoric First Troop City Cavalry’s Armory. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m. for VIP guests and 7:00 p.m. for regular admission.

This year’s Anniversary Celebration is going to be their best one yet! MANNA is bringing Philadelphia’s philanthropic and healthcare leaders together for a night of memorable entertainment, including a special auction, drinks, dinner, and dancing, all in support of the nonprofit organization.

This one-time exclusive event will honor MANNA’s history and will provide a glimpse into the future for the organization. Additionally, this year’s event will honor Steven Korman, Founder of Korman Communities. Korman’s commitment to MANNA spans over 15 years. He began by helping those infected with HIV/AIDS, knowing people with this virus often have trouble eating. Later, Korman and his family opened the Steven Korman Nutrition Center, an essential part of MANNA, where he serves as Chair of the Advisory Board.

At the 25th Anniversary Celebration, plan to see performances by the amazing Eddie Bruce Orchestra, Dancers of Pennsylvania Ballet, and Brian Sanders JUNK. Amongst the crowd, guests will find Honorary Chairs Governor Tom Wolf, Mayor Michael Nutter, Governor Ed Rendell, and  “Mr. Las Vegas” Wayne Newton. ChefAID alumnus Chef Robert Bennett, Eric Gantz, Jose Garces, Michael Schulson, and a few other famed Philadelphia chefs will be in in attendance at their participating stations, where they will prepare tasty culinary treats for guests.
