‘Philly’s Greatest Masquerade Celebration Honors Local Heroes & Gives Back’

The Unmasking the Legacy Gala was a huge success, after its third year, and seems to get better each year!

Unmasking the Legacy Gala, which took place on November 2 at the Ballroom at the Ben, was an event to celebrate its man and woman of the year honorees! The event is hosted by JerseyMan and PhillyMan Magazine.

This masquerade-themed celebration brought together 10 men and women who have had profound impacts on their community. A portion of each ticket sold benefited the charity or non-profit chosen by the two honorees with the most ticket sales.

The two winners were Bill Brandt, the owner of Traino’s Wine and Spirits with several locations in New Jersey, and Peter Cordua from CPA’s and Consultants in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

Bill Brandt supports the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of New Jersey and was able to donate a check for $4,495. Peter Cordua supports the Joseph Lacroce Foundation and was able to donate a check for $2,125.

Ken Dunek, the Publisher at JerseyMan and PhillyMan, remains committed to shining their light on business leaders in the Delaware Valley who not only excel professionally, but also philanthropically.

Partygoers enjoyed food stations, a 4-hour top-shelf open bar, as well as dancing and live entertainment. Celebrations continued with special guest, Meisha Johnson of CBS Philly, who rocked the mic.

Best mask was won by Linda Flangan, who won a special grand prize selected by PhillyChitChat’s HughE Dillon.
