Luke Hadley Foundation Launch Party - 6/5/09

To celebrate its inception, the Luke Hadley Foundation hosted its Launch Party at the Pennsylvania Pure Distillery in Glenshaw. The Foundation provides toys, activities, programs, equipment, and supplies to organizations in order to help create happier environments for children who are hospitalized. At the kick-off event, guests enjoyed a carving station with prime rib roast, a pasta station, and plenty of delicious hors d’oeuvres, as well as a tour of the distillery, which is home to Boyd & Blair Vodka, and a tutorial on vodka-making. Among the silent auction items were tickets to a NASCAR race, theater tickets for the Pittsburgh Public Theater and the City Theatre, and autographed Pittsburgh Pirates memorabilia. The Launch Party raised $8,000 to benefit The Children’s Home of Pittsburgh. Photography by Megan Wylie
