Hall of Fame: 2024 Gala
Thanks for attending the celebration!
On Friday night, November 22nd, we inducted nine long-time broadcast professionals into the Broadcast Pioneers Hall Of Fame and honored our distinguished Person Of The Year, Pat Ciarrocchi.
The overall feelings at this year’s Hall Of Fame Gala were joy, happiness, and camaraderie. Our guests were genuinely happy to be together again for this much loved night.
After months of diligent planning and hard work, our main event went well. It looked like everyone had a good time.
It was a team effort, with each team member bringing to the table their individual creativity and expertise. I personally thank all of you who had a hand in making the night successful and extra special.
Many of our team had never been involved with an event such as this. Together, we learned new ways of planning as we went along, developing new and original ideas, And now we add this prestigious 2024 Hall of Fame Gala to the history of Broadcast Pioneers and Philadelphia communications.
Congratulations to the stars of the night, the Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame Class of 2024! And a special salute to beloved TV personality- Pat Ciarrocchi, our Person of the Year!
We will need volunteers to help next year. I hope you’ll consider joining the team. We sure can use you!
Join us in honoring these outstanding people who represent the very best in broadcasting!
