The event is a thank-you to the daughters and spouses of military service people.

Nearly 400 well-dressed guests filled the newly renovated lobby and restaurant to try Sandoval’s signature dishes and cocktails.

On May 26, Parx Casino joined Historic Philadelphia Inc. in presenting the 7th annual “An Evening in Franklin Square” to benefit efforts to sustain the celebrated park.

The Ball is arguably the most glamorous party of the spring season and among the square’s most important fundraising events of the year.

Events began on Wednesday, June 8, and ran through Sunday, June 12.

Last year, more than $100,000 was raised at the event, which helps support Project HOME’s mission to end and prevent homelessness in Philadelphia.

Guests enjoyed passed hors d’oeuvre and a delicious cake by Swiss Haus, which was decorated with the new First Friday logo.

Nearly 500 art patrons attended the fundraiser last Thursday evening.

Honorees included former governor Edward G. Rendell, Honorable Marjorie Rendell and the Roots’ Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter.

Several thousand horse fans came out to support the Radnor Hunt Races in Malvern.

Stephanie Stahl was emcee for an evening of honoring supporters and those supported.

After the show, the young friends and some of the cast members headed to the Logan Hotel’s Urban Farmer for a post-reception party.
