America250PA: Making History Gala
A gala recognizing America250PA and the Semiquincentennial — the 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding — and Pennsylvania’s historic role in declaring independence.
The Semiquincentennial marks the 250th anniversary of America’s founding. In 1776, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and delegates from the thirteen colonies signed the Declaration of Independence at Independence Hall, proclaiming freedom from British rule. The America250PA Making History Gala honors that milestone and Pennsylvania’s role in the nation’s founding.
