VILLANOVA, PA — Devereux Pennsylvania will hold its annual “Evening of Hope” gala on Saturday, November 8, at Vie by Cescaphe in Philadelphia. The 2025 event, themed “A Night in Venice,” will celebrate Devereux’s mission to help children, adolescents, and adults with emotional, behavioral, and cognitive differences build lives of connection, growth, and belonging.
The Evening of Hope is Devereux’s largest fundraising event of the year, drawing more than 400 guests and generating hundreds of thousands of dollars to support over 4,000 individuals served across Pennsylvania. The night will feature cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, a three-course dinner, and live entertainment including music from Milan 77, a 360 photo booth, cannoli piping station, and live illustration art. Guests are encouraged to embrace the Venetian theme with elegant masquerade masks.
This year’s honoree is Phil Glick, a longtime member of the Devereux Pennsylvania Advisory Board who has served since 1999. He will be recognized for his decades of leadership and dedication to Devereux’s mission.
“This event provides a meaningful opportunity to thank our community partners for helping the youth and adults in our care lead fulfilling lives,” said Carl E. Clark II, Devereux President and CEO. “The theme, ‘A Night in Venice,’ celebrates the beauty and allure of its namesake city and the shared purpose that defines our mission. Much like the winding canals of Venice—where every turn offers a chance for discovery—our work is never done, as we support those in need through life’s challenges with compassion, vision, and hope.”
Individual tickets are $400, and sponsorships, tables, and program advertisements are still available. For more information, contact Melissa Trexler at Melissa.Trexler@devereux.org or visit EveningOfHope.Devereux.org.
