Over the weekend, I went to a great event for an amazing cause, and it was such a blast.
Honestly, I was stoked to go there and was looking forward to it all week!
The event was called the Eluna Spring Soirée!
Eluna is a wonderful organization that helps children and families impacted by addiction.
They do really amazing work for the community and it should not go overlooked!
Oh, and I can’t forget to mention that the Soirée was held at an awesome venue called The Barn at Valley Forge Flowers.
The place was beautiful and it was the perfect location to spend a weekend night at an event for a great organization!
Our good friend, Jamie Comiskey, is actually the special events liaison for Eluna, so, of course, I had to make an appearance!
Funnily enough, we also got to see Jamie’s husband, former Philadelphia Flyers great, Joe Watson.
Watson was fun to watch during his day and was a top-notch defenseman for our city’s hockey team.
But he was not the only person that we ran into that was or is involved in the sports world of Philly!
We also ran into Don DiJulia, the Vice President for Athletics and the Athletic Director at St. Joe’s University.
He’s practically our next-door neighbor here at the WMGK studios!
DiJulia is easily one of the most respected administrators in all of college athletics and a true legend over on Hawk Hill!
After running into some familiar faces, it was time to bid on some great silent auction items!
Some of my favorites included a signed Tony DeAngelo jersey, a basketball clinic with slam dunk champ Mac McClung, and a basket of To-Jo gourmet mushrooms!
I’m jealous of whoever went home with those prizes!
All in all, I think it was a successful night!
I can’t wait to get back again next year!
