The 2024 Boundless Celebration
The 7th annual Boundless Celebration last month brought together over 400 Liguori Academy supporters and community members to The Vie for an unforgettable night of dancing, recognition, and gratitude. Every guest in attendance embraced the theme of the evening, bringing their unmistakable Philly heart, energy, and voice. In a season when our sports teams couldn’t quite rally for us—Boundless did, reminding us of the unbreakable unity we have within our community.
As Happy Hour began, the sun quickly set, allowing the lights above the patio to shimmer as if they were stars in the sky, while the passed hors d’ oeuvres sashayed around us—plentiful and tempting, with each bit inviting conversation and laughter.
Taking the party inside, it was an unforgettable sight to watch the crowd wave and twirl their “it’s a Philly thing” rally towels as the Phanatic did not dance on his own! The electricity in the room made it feel as if we as a team hit a grand slam or made a winning three-pointer!
Liguori extends heartfelt thanks to Steve Kantor for generously supporting this year’s Rally Towels and Dean Smith for being our Mascot sponsor.
While nothing compares to the thrill of a nail-biting finish to a sports game, Founder and President, Michael Marrone, had the distinct honor of presenting two very special awards. The Wilusz Family received the Boundless Award and the Uncommon Individual Foundation with the Amore Award, both in recognition of their unwavering support and generosity towards Liguori Academy.
Although from another coast thousands of miles away, The Beach Boys surely knew how to fit in and get us on our feet, moving and grooving! From belting in harmony the classic hits, we all wanted to hear, to inviting fans in the crowd on stage to jam on the guitar that was auctioned after a lively bidding event—they may not be from our city of Brotherly Love, but they surely made themselves honorary members that night!
A huge thank you to Ray and Shauna Mirra for being this year’s Entertainment Sponsor. Ray and his team were instrumental by fully funding the band and handling the coordination, and we truly cannot thank you enough for your incredible ongoing support!
The Boundless Celebration is held every year with not only the goal of raising funds to catapult our students on the roadway to success but to honor the outstanding supports who make it all possible. As we look back on the Boundless Celebration, and on the behalf of the entire Liguori team, we wanted to take a moment to extend our gratitude for our sponsors.
We hope that you left the Boundless Celebration feeling inspired and empowered to continue making meaningful change within our community. Your dedication is transforming the lives of our students, helping them reach new heights that may not have been reached without you. Together, we we’re pushing the boundaries of an unjust education system and creating Boundless Opportunities for all. We thank you again for believing and supporting our mission.
