A PICTURE WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS...
|
|
We knew this would happen when Phillies broadcaster Gregg Murphy worked with us to plan a grand finale for our Global Business Leadership Award honoree, Dan Fitzpatrick, President of Citizens Bank PA / NJ / DE. The Phillie Phanatic showed up while we were handing out hats to prepare for our "Tip of the Hat" tribute to Dan.
And guess who stole the show! Almost everyone in the audience reached for their phones and there in a flash, our Celebration will live on as one of our most memorable and "Phun" evenings.
Our hats are off not only to Dan Fitzpatrick and our honorees, DFT Inc. and Destination Maternity, but also to all of you who supported us! Thank you!
Now how do we top this?
