Our SELF in the City Gala will be held on Saturday, November 15, 2024, at 6:00 PM, in the Grand Ballroom at the Hilton Philadelphia - City Line. At this event, we will raise money to support our services and resources and honor those who have significantly impacted Philadelphia by advocating for the unhoused and housing-insecure. 

As SELF Inc.'s flagship annual fundraising event, the SELF in the City Gala brings together advocates, regional leaders in unhoused and housing-insecure services, local and state legislators, dedicated volunteers, community members, and agency supporters, providing networking opportunities, including an inspirational program and an auction. Event attendees can look forward to browsing and bidding in our robust silent auction, both in-person at the gala and via our online event platform.

Here are some of the benefits you can expect as a silent auction participant:

Your organization will receive promotion on SELF’s social media channels and the event’s online platform leading up to the event.  Your company logo and name will be prominently displayed on your donated item. You will receive a tax receipt for your donation.

All proceeds from this event will support SELF Inc.'s various programs and services, including case management services, street outreach, permanent supportive housing, emergency housing, temporary and rapid rehousing for adults and young people ages 18-24, community food distribution, and wellness programs for those with mental illness and/or substance use disorder.

These programs, which provide essential support for the homeless and unhoused, are made possible by SELF’s community of donors. I hope you will lend your support!
