Planning for Liberty Ball 2017 is underway! Email chair@libertyball.org to get involved. The Liberty Ball, A Knight For the Kids( TM) is an annual black tie optional event hosted by the Philadelphia Chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association. Created in 2006 to continue fundraising support efforts to the Penn State Dance Marathon “THON,” the Liberty Ball contributes to the mission of conquering childhood cancer. Due to their involvement as students at Penn State, the Chapter Board of Directors desired to continue their support of THON and the fight against pediatric cancer as alum, wanting to do more than just sending their individual donation checks each year. In 2005, the idea of hosting an annual gala fundraiser was brought to them by then Chapter Treasurer, Sean Sommer and his then fiancé, now wife Maria Sommer. Immediately approved by the Board, planning for the first Liberty Ball began. The Liberty Ball has been held at historic and magical venues in Philadelphia including the Philadelphia Union League, the Warrick Hotel, the Downtown Club, The Franklin Institute and The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, The Please Touch Museum and Adventure Aquarium. Raising over $125,000, the Chapter has succeeded in accomplishing its mission of uniting and maintaining a network of Penn State Alumni while giving back to the community and promoting Penn State in the Philadelphia area.
