On Saturday, November 15, 2025, at 6 PM, SELF Inc. will host its annual flagship fundraising event, the SELF in the City Gala, at the Hilton Philadelphia City Avenue Grand Ballroom. 

Hosted by WPVI 6abc’s Vice President of Community Engagement, Niki Hawkins, the gala will also recognize distinguished honorees whose unwavering advocacy for the unhoused and those facing housing insecurity has profoundly impacted Philadelphia and its surrounding counties. 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.

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

SELF Inc. serves approximately 1,000 clients daily through our eight emergency and permanent housing programs and 77 permanent supportive housing units. In 2024, SELF Inc. assisted 5,048 clients, including: 454,965 meals; 151,655 emergency shelter bed nights; 31,791 supportive services, such as case management and transportation; and 23,815 after-hours bed nights.

In recognition of your donation, your organization will receive promotion on SELF Inc.’s social media platforms, website, and the event’s online platform leading up to the event. During the event, your company logo and name will be prominently displayed on your donated item.

Our programs and services are made possible by SELF Inc.’s community of donors. I hope you will lend your support!
