On Thursday, Sept. 28, NAWBO Philadelphia Center for Advancing Entrepreneurs (PCAE) will host its 2nd Annual Gala Reception to honor Emily Bittenbender, Managing Partner of Bittenbender Construction.

Bittenbender will be receiving PCAE’s Annual Innovators Award, which honors a leader in the Greater Philadelphia Area for dedication to advancing entrepreneurs and the community.

The Gala raises money to support programs for entrepreneurs in the Philadelphia region. PCAE offers programming that encourages integrity, excellence, civic engagement, and creative collaboration through two powerful programs:

  • Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!) Philadelphia – transforms middle and high school students into real business owners and real entrepreneurial success stories. The year-long after school program gives students a fun, project-based, hands-on, experiential education.
  • ATHENAPowerLink NAWBO Delaware Valley – offers women-owned businesses the opportunity to connect with and receive advice and support from a panel of highly skilled, volunteer advisors, for the period of one year. Business owners learn how to develop networks, access capital, and implement best practices.

The PCAE Innovation Gala Reception takes place at The Comcast Center from 6-8:30 PM. Karen Buchholz, Senior Vice President of Administration for Comcast will be the Honorary Chair.

The Presenting Sponsor is Comcast, Platinum Sponsor is The Forman Family Foundation and Gold Sponsors include Bittenbender Construction and TMS II.

Cynthia Minuti of Ardent Credit Union and Deborah Pulver of Santander are co-chairs of the event.
