Huge thank you to @blocsphilly for an unforgettable evening last week, celebrating 25 years of EITC and the impact it continues to have on students and families across Philadelphia. Our CEO, Matthew Laken, and his wife, @g_marie_laken , had the opportunity to attend their gala alongside such INSPIRING educators, community leaders, schools, and supporters who are helping create brighter futures for Philadelphia scholars every single day. A special thank you to Brandon McNeice, Alex Borders, and the entire team at @ccaphilly for the incredible hospitality throughout the night. It was also great spending time with so many of our AMAZING school partners and friends who continue to pour into students and communities across the city. @archbishopperez of the @aops_schools was remarkable as ever, leading such an incredible night. We left feeling SO inspired by the entire BLOCS organization and the work being led by CEO Robert J. Delany, a true champion for scholarly success and educational opportunity across Philadelphia. We also had the BEST TIME seeing so many of our partners and friends throughout the evening, including the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, @visitationbvmkensington , @stthomasphila , @saintmonicaphilly , @hope4eduphilly , Virgil Shepherd, @lfchs , Kerri Ditro, @liguoriacademy , Michael Marrone, Sammy DiGeorge, @desalesphilly , Sister Mary, Allie Mion and the crew, plus all of our friends from @cristoreyphiladelphia . Watching the students showcase their chess and golf skills was such a fun and memorable part of the night. Seeing so many people and organizations come together around education, opportunity, and community made this an evening we won't forget. We left inspired, grateful, and proud to support organizations helping students succeed both inside and outside the classroom. #CramersUniforms #BLOCS #BuildingABetterFuture #EITC #InUniformWeSucceed

The @blocsphilly Speaker Series did exactly what it was meant to do — remind us of the power of women showing up for one another. (Invited) We had the honor of hearing from NYT Best Seller @authormariebenedict , and even though traffic tried to keep us apart, timing had other plans. We literally ran right into each other at the perfect moment. This wasn’t a book breakdown — it was a conversation about how women and girls can uplift each other, just as BLOCS continues to uplift student education across the Commonwealth. . Also @the_rittenhouse is absolutely stunning-def plan to add to the staycation list! . #blocs #toitimeblog #phillycontentcreator #mentalhealth

On Thursday evening I was honored to be part of such an incredible evening celebrating 25 years of the EITC program and the life-changing impact it has had on children and families across Pennsylvania with State Senator Joe Picozzi and State Representative Martina White. It was great joining so many community leaders, advocates, and supporters who believe every child deserves access to opportunity and a quality education. Thank you to everyone who made this event so special. Looking forward to continuing the conversation on how we can build a stronger future for the next generation.
