2022 Philadelphia World Heritage City Celebration
7th Annual World Heritage City Celebration
September 8, 2022
GPA will be celebrating Philadelphia's World Heritage City
designation with cocktails and dinner at the
Crystal Tea Room with our 2022 honoree, Ali Velshi.
MSNBC anchor and Business Correspondent for NBC News and MSNBC
Funds raised help Global Philadelphia Association continue its work on the World Heritage City Project and
its four critical initiatives of the GPA mission: education, preservation, building awareness and extending our global reach.
This year, the Global Philadelphia Association will support our World Heritage Partners in Ukraine, home to seven World Heritage Sites. We pledge to support the World Heritage City of L'viv by donating 10% of net proceeds from the 2022 World Heritage City Celebration.
