BLOCS to Hold Annual Fund-Raising Gala

Philadelphia, PA - Business Leadership Organized for Catholic Schools (BLOCS) is pleased to announce that our Annual Fund-raising Gala will be held on Wednesday, April 5th, 2006 at the Marriott Hotel-Downtown Philadelphia. The event will run from 5:30-9 p.m. with a VIP/Board of Directors Private Reception and our dinner program to follow.

The Annual Gala is a chance to showcase exactly what BLOCS works toward everyday, providing every opportunity possible to our more than 100,000 children who seek a value-based Catholic education in our five (5) county region. It also allows our business community leaders, both Catholic and non-Catholic, a firsthand look at the children they are directly impacting through their generous financial contributions.

Any questions regarding this matter should be directed to the BLOCS office at (215) 587-0590 or via the web at www.BLOCS.org. More details to follow.
