StreetWise 30th Anniversary Celebration

On September 30, StreetWise celebrated 30 years as an organization with our annual gala, held this year at Galleria Marchetti, 825 W. Erie St., from 5 - 10 p.m. It truly was a bash to remember, with dinner, drinks, a silent auction, and shopping with GiveAShi*t and T3: Trash to Treasure. The program was short and sweet and highlighted three individual vendors: Kianna Drummond (who has been with StreetWise for 9 months), Keith Hardiman (20 years), and Danny Davis (27 years). Each vendor performed their sales pitch as they would on the street and was also featured in a video vignette telling their story, produced and directed by the Emmy Award-winning The Daily Planet, Ltd.

StreetWise would like to thank the event sponsors that made this event possible:
