This year Einstein Healthcare celebrates their 150th anniversary and to commemorate such a monumental achievement, they threw a party. An anniversary bash complete with scrumptious food, a live auction, an amazing performance by the one and only Diana Ross and hosted by Tony Award winning actor and singer, Jason Alexander.

The Anniversary bash kicked off with a special private V.I.P. meeting between the host, Jason Alexander and prominent Einstein leaders.
The National Constitution Center was decorated beautifully, filled with excited energy and packed with people. Delicious gourmet food stations were placed throughout the double leveled party. Live music by the talented Honey & Vinyl Jazz, The University of the Arts A Capable Quartet, and Rumble entertained the crowd. Four amazing destination excursions including Africa, Spain, Italy, and New York were auctioned. The fun evening closed with a spectacular performance by the legendary Diana Ross.
