On Thursday, April 7, the Young Friends of Philly Fights Cancer hosted a happy hour at the WET Deck at W Philadelphia Hotel. The evening had an incredible turnout with over 100 people in attendance. The event ran from 6:00pm- 8:00pm, and featured music, light bites, and a silent auction with over 30 items. Silent auction items included original artwork, apparel and skincare, restaurant reservations and dining experiences, fine wine, signed sports memorabilia and tickets, and more.

High-end ticket items included suite-level tickets to see Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden this summer, and an exclusive experience with the Philadelphia Flyers that included a Zamboni ride. In total, over $12,000 was raised for clinical trials and translational research at the Abramson Cancer Center.
