On April 27 Bancroft hosted their 2024 Butterfly Ball at Vie in Philadelphia.
Hundreds of attendees including board members, staff, sponsors, and friends came together to show their support for the Bancroft mission.
Guests enjoyed delicious hors d’oeuvres, sit down dinner, refreshing drinks, lively entertainment by dueling pianos and band, a very creative silent auction, and the opportunity to connect with fellow supporters.

“Being honored by an organization as impactful as Bancroft was an incredibly special moment,” Adam Landau said. “By working with a population of people with severe special needs, Bancroft serves the most vulnerable members of our community. It has truly been a pleasure to serve on the board for the past nine years, and it will remain a passion and priority for me going forward.”
