Endowment Fund Donors Rock!
|
Each year, ABI gives special recognition to top donors to the Anthony H.N. Schnelling Endowment Fund at the Winter Leadership Conference, this year being held at the La Quinta Resort & Club December 4 – 6 in La Quinta, Calif. (If you haven’t registered yet, you can do that here.)
This year is no exception. Immediately following the Friday Night Gala Dinner, ABI will be hosting a special invitation-only reception (sponsored by Rust Consulting, Inc. and Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP) with an opportunity to meet Fran Cosmo, former lead singer of the rock group Boston. Invitees will include new contributors at the Sustaining Level ($2,000 and up).
This event offers a chance for the Endowment Fund leaders to honor donors, and gives everyone involved in this cause an opportunity to reflect on everything the Fund has accomplished — and continues to accomplish — in service to the bankruptcy community.

The Penguins/Flyers rivalry is often regarded as the most intense in the NHL; it is one of the most anticipated match-ups of the season and a hot ticket in both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
Please join the ABI Anthony H.N. Schnelling Endowment Fund for a night of networking in a luxury suite generously donated by Gavin/Solmonese, complete with food and open bar. Tickets are $200 and benefit the ABI Endowment Fund. As an added bonus, Flyers greats Bernie Parent and Bob Kelly will be visiting our suite during the first period to mingle with us! This event is sure to be a sell-out!
