Cornellians are taking over Philadelphia again next weekend. Please join us as at Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies' fabulous home stadium, as we celebrate Ezra Cornell's 200th birthday on Saturday, January 20, from 6 to 10 p.m.
If you live anywhere in the mid-Atlantic, or if you're in town for the Cornell Association of Class Officers' annual meeting, this is a great event -- just ask any of the 450+ folks who attended last year (including plenty of eLynah peeps). Highlights:
* Behind-the-scenes tours of the ballpark, including locker rooms.
* Meet host Joe Giles '84 of the Phillies.
* Bid for cool stuff, from hotel packages to killer sports memorabilia (more on that below), to benefit the Cornell Club of Greater Philadelphia's Scholarship Fund.
* Hang with the Phillie Phanatic.
* Excellent food.
* Tons of kids' activities, from a science show to face-painting.
* Free parking.
The list of goodies that has been donated for the benefit auction is eye-popping, but the sports-related items are particularly juicy: a bat autographed by NL MVP Ryan Howard of the Phillies, Phillies tickets, Eagles tickets, Flyers tickets, NY Giants tickets, an autographed Flyers stick...and Cornell-related stuff including two Philadelphia Wings jerseys autographed by Cornellian and NLL Rookie of the Year Sean Greenhalgh '05 and club seats to the Wings (donated by Cornell lax legend Mike French '76, who was just inducted into the NLL Hall of Fame). And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
