Red Ball Keeps Red Cross in the Black

On Saturday, March 6, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter of the Red Cross held their annual fundraiser, the Red Ball at the Please Touch Museum.

Always a fun venue for an event like this. You get to watch grown men and women in tuxes and dresses--in this case mostly red dresses--trying to crawl around and enjoy all the exhibits at the Museum.

Did I menion it's a children's museum?

It was a good night for the Red Cross. They raised $285,000.

And, they had 1,134 attendees, which was one attendee too many if you ask me. Some guy in front of me in line to ride the carousel kept elbowing me repeatedly.

Jerk.

You can see some of the pictures and video below, and you can read my short piece on the event at the Weekly Press here.
