Thursday, September 25, 2025

5:30pm – 8:30pm

Our September 25 celebration is ELC’s premier fundraiser, bringing together our biggest champions for an unforgettable night of meaningful conversation and connection, inspiration and impact.

We look forward to sharing more about ELC’s ongoing initiatives to advance education justice and to recognizing our generous partners who make this work possible — now and into the future.

With your support, ELC will be better equipped to meet the demand for our direct services, address systemic barriers that prevent all students from thriving, and promote the adoption of policies and practices that will create inclusive, positive school climates.

About this year’s honorees

We are thrilled to honor two distinguished civic leaders dedicated to education justice through their exceptional service, tireless advocacy, and generous philanthropic initiatives: Jolley Bruce Christman and Jennifer Rice. We will also proudly recognize the William Penn Foundation, whose transformative and long-term investments in our work have directly resulted in more just educational opportunities.

About this year's venue

Built in 1923, a half century before ELC was launched, the Switch House was once a formidable power station supplying electricity throughout Philadelphia. We are thrilled to host this year’s special milestone at this newly renovated, historic venue. You might come away electrified!
