Hello attendees of pHiLsHaLLoWeEnBaSh,

This is overdue, but I wanted to send a summary of thank yous and congratulations for this year’s event, NIGHTMARE – Will You Ever Wake Up. As I’ve wished, my party has grown each year, and I cannot be more excited and prouder.  But, without my guests, crew, and support from local small businesses and friends, it would not be possible.  My main crew, Azita, Brandon, Nick, Robbie, Angelo, Liz and Frances began meeting in late summer and up until the party, spent countless hours helping to plan and decorate. Additionally, Aidan, Jimmy, Lisette, Pablo, Susal, John and Tom stepped in at times to offer much needed assistance.  Tom, owner of the Factory, is very good to me and the party, allowing us to get in days before to begin the transformation.  I would never be able to thank him enough!  Thankfully, businesses have been generous to the event for prizes and financial support to ensure that a hefty donation goes to the party beneficiary, and you’ll get a great party and prizes as a result.  Here’s a list of those businesses.  Showing support to them is a great way to thank them!

Nick and Brandon of norcast.tv 
Bill of rapid-rollout.com
Angela of pilatessoulstudio.com
Shane Michael of bearessentialhair.com
Steve of revolutioncoffeeroasters.com

Additional donations included the 100’s of donut holes from my friend Elyse.  Pizza this year was completely donated by Ed Herron, of PCF Restaurant Group (Pizza Hut).  And YOU, the guests and your donations/ticket purchases make it possible.  And I say it every year, but the costume creativity keeps getting better and better!  With the said, huge congratulations go to the following winners of the evening. 

3^rd place, $70 = THE BACHELORETTE PARTY (Jorge and Derek, the lucky engaged couple, and friends Alex, David, Geoffrey, Chris and Steve)
2^nd place, $150 = THE DARK ANGELS (which was split due to confusion and the winner being MIA, Alyssa and Brent) 
Alyssa received a Revolution Coffee gift bag valued at $45 and Brent, $100 which he donated back to charity
1^st place, Cash, Pilates Soul Studio Gift Card and Bearessentials Gift Bag (all valued at $300) = THE (SCAREY) TOOTH FAIRIES (Nick, Brandon and Robbie)

An additional thank you to Onyx Ondyx (@onyxondyx) and Pi (@PiQueen) for their wildly bizarre but yet amazingly entertaining performances!  And finally, NorEasterNick’s Rainy Day Project, this year’s beneficiary, received $500, the net proceeds of the party.  For more information on his Project, go to philshalloweenbash.com/charity

Just a reminder,  pHiLsHaLLoWeEnBaSh is a not-for-profit party, so each and every year, the net proceeds of the event go to the beneficiary.  Save the date, Oct 19^th, for next year’s BaSh with some exciting changes and theme!  Until then, we’ll be in touch!  Visit pHiLsHaLLoWeEnBaSh.com for pictures, charity info, updates and next year’s party info!

Love you all!
