| More than 300 guests gathered
for The Rock School Scholarship Benefit
on May 11th, 2007 at the Independence Seaport
Museum. The black-tie gala, titled What’s
Black and White and Read All Over?, honored
former Philadelphia Inquirer publisher
Bob Hall and his wife Ronna for
their contributions to the arts in Philadelphia.
Co-chaired by Deborah and Robert Chiumento and
Margaret and Michael Tierney, the event raised
nearly $200,000 toward the Rock
School scholarship fund for young dancers.
Representatives from lead sponsors Bernie Robbins
Fine Jewelry, Bessemer Trust, and Wachovia Bank were
among the guests present for cocktails, dinner and a
lively performance by Rock School students.
The Rock School is one of the nation’s
leading ballet training institutions, serves over 1,000
local students. |
