Special Events

Every December and May, the Philadelphia Chapter offers a Holiday Social and Year-End Bash, respectively.

Holiday Social
The December event is our annual “Giving Back” event that benefits a worthy local charity.  Over the years, our members have been responsive and very generous.  A silent auction generates terrific donations, from gift baskets, to tickets to sporting events, to handmade jewelry, to gift certificates to local retail stores. The proceeds, including a charitable donation from the Philadelphia Chapter, go to the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House, a foundation dedicated to providing emotional support, housing, and living necessities to the families of critically ill children. Donations are accepted year round. If interested in making a donations, please contact Adrienne Fessler.

Year-end Bash
The Year-end Bash is held every May to celebrate the conclusion of our program year, and to begin planning for a new one. The event offers food, drink, prizes in a casual atmosphere for a fun evening of networking and relaxation. This is the perfect event for old and new members, or to bring associates and friends to introduce them to SMPS.
