Supporters of Catholic education gathered May 9 for the Business Leadership Organized for Catholic Schools (BLOCS) Gala hosted at the Crystal Tea Room in Philadelphia. The event celebrated the gift of Catholic education in the Philadelphia region and the success of Catholic schools while highlighting the charitable mission of BLOCS. The evening featured dinner and entertainment, student performances, speakers, and an awards presentation. This year’s theme was, “Lighting Up the Future!” and Philadelphia-native and notable Basketball coach, Phil Martelli, served as this year’s emcee. Learn more about BLOCS here. (Photos by Sarah Webb)
