Photos: The Philly DoGooder Awards

HughE Dillon poses with the award he had no idea he was receiving. His surprise face was adorable/priceless.
There was a fantastic turnout to last night’s Philly DoGooder Awards — especially from the LGBTQ community. Tons of pretty gay faces comprised the well-dressed, happily tipsy crowd in the University of the Arts’ Hamilton Hall. Unfortunately, though, none of the LGBTQ non-profits took home awards, but gay Philly on-the-scene photog HughE Dillon was shocked when Mayor Nutter presented him with a surprise Innovator in Community Building award. You should have seen the look on his face. Actually, you can in the photos after the jump.
