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.
