Dunleavy and Associates produced the 5th annual gala hosted by The Friends of St. Martin de Porres School at the Hilton Philadelphia City Avenue on Thursday evening April 10, 2014.  The “Budding Scholars” Gala honored Jerry Sweeney, President and CEO of Brandywine Realty Trust.  Guests enjoyed a cocktail reception, seated dinner and an exciting live auction with auctioneer Dave Frankel! The evening’s program, starring EMCEE Renee Chenault-Fattah, highlighted the talents and achievements of St. Martin de Porres School students and alumni.   All proceeds from the event benefit the 440-student elementary school.  Recently accredited by the Middle States Association,  St Martin is educating children with excellence in one of the poorest, crime-ridden neighborhoods of North Philadelphia.  100% of students graduate 8th grade and attend high school, with most going on to top-notch colleges.
