On Saturday, Nov. 30th at the Trocadero Theater, host Fergus Carey, his wife Christine Chisholm and partners are putting on a unique Philadelphia performance of the historic 1976 “Last Waltz” concert by The Band. Proceeds benefit Parents United plus three other organizations benefitting Philadelphia’s public schools: Friends of Horatio B. Hackett Elementary School, Passyunk Square Neighborhood Civic Association (for Andrew Jackson Elementary School), and the School District instrumental music repair program. Read more about the event:
Interested? Tickets are $25 pp and $100 for VIP. Show starts at 9 p.m. for regular patrons. See you then!

Every year, Philebrity hosts its own unique awards show that celebrates in their words “the best (and a little bit of the worst) of  Philadelphia, from those in the arts and media to those more unsung heroes in the non-profit/do-gooding world.  . .What it is, rather, is a raucous holiday melange of music, comedy and the can-do spirit that makes Philadelphia one of the greatest cities in the world.”
Parents United is up for the Non-Profit Organization of the Year. Vote today, tomorrow and everyday! Celebrate another winner in Philadelphia’s education activist community by supporting school nurse and Alliance for Philadelphia Public Schools co-founder Eileen Duffey Bernt as Do-Gooder of the Year, and don’t forget that a vote for Tom Corbett for official “ex-communication” won’t actually do anything, but it sure does feel good.
