Join the Delaware County Press Club for their Holiday Luncheon and Basket Raffle with special guest Cathy McVey, Visit Philadelphia’s Senior Vice President of Strategic Integration, on December 17th at noon, at La Locanda Ristorante, Newtown Square.
Philadelphia and its surrounding counties are at the center of the United States Semiquincentennial celebrations and McVey plays a pivotal role in projecting the voice of Philadelphia’s historic past and overall uniqueness to visitors of our great city. You won’t want to miss getting a first-hand account of how Philly is being marketed in preparation for this momentous occasion and finding out how YOU can be involved in this historical event!
McVey will discuss their Civic Pride campaign and the marketing of Philadelphia ahead of America's 250th anniversary. The campaign is all about spotlighting the people, places, and moments that exist only here.
She’ll also tell us how we can become a part of the citywide movement of proud Philadelphians who are united by one mission: to showcase their favorite Philly experiences.
During lunch, attendees can take a chance to win a variety of holiday baskets. Proceeds from the Holiday Basket Raffle will go toward the Barbara Ormsby Award for Communications Excellence to a full-time student enrolled at a Delaware County institution of higher education. The 2025 Award went to Villanova University.
Raffle baskets include sports memorabilia, music collection, Press Club memberships, gifts from Italy, artwork, unique experiences, and more! Plus, we’ll hold a special silent auction on a shore get-away and for one round of golf for four at Hershey's Mill including carts!
