Black Tie Tailgate Auto Show Preview Gala

On January 30, 2009, the Black Tie Tailgate Auto Show Preview Gala was held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Guests enjoyed fine food from Stephen Starr Events and fabulous cars while strolling through the showroom before the show opened to the public. Proceeds from the event supported the Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation’s $2 million pledge for construction and maintenance of the Patient Welcome Center in the Pediatric Ambulatory Care Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
