The evening sparkled in a garden of possibilities with a five-star meal that tantalized the taste buds and entertainment that kept hearts soaring. Celebrating with our hero and legendary Hall of Famer, Coach Dick Vermeil, whose passion for excellence inspires us all, the Coach’s Private Reserve Dinner, honoring BrightView, was a testament to the power of community and the unwavering commitment to shaping a better tomorrow for our youth! A Huge Thank you to our beloved presenting sponsors John Scheffey, Danielle Sadock, The Union League of Philadelphia, Vermeil Wines, and BelGioioso Cheese Inc., for believing in our youth and investing in the lives of the children who need them most.

With a heavy heart we are remembering our good friend and supporter, Roman Gabriel. Roman was the first celebrity football player to come and support our efforts in Philadelphia during our first 6 months on the job. We raised over $750,000 that first year when we introduced the Philly Showcase of Wine & Cheese to Philadelphia! Roman was there to celebrate with us and we will forever be grateful for his leadership, support and friendship. Roman, you will be forever missed. 💔#friendship #support #foreverinourhearts #leadership #commitment #Philadelphia #kids National Football League (NFL) NFLAlumniDirectory.com Philadelphia Eagles
