Addicted After All
“has thrown a massive fall charity event in support of a children’s hospital downtown. By massive, everyone with deep pockets in Philly was invited, regardless if they’re involved with Hale Co. or not.
It’s simple. Serve drinks, good food, and have people share their stories of how Hale Co. reached out to them when they were in need. Afterwards, people will open their checkbooks. I’ve been to so many of these that they feel more routine than any school function would.
I sip a glass of wa...ter while a speaker finishes her story, and then I head towards the crowds to find Daniel Perth, one of the board members. But I don’t have to squeeze between bodies. The moment I step near, they break for me.
