phil·an·thro·pi·a is Executive Caterers’ Annual Fundraising Luncheon at Landerhaven designed to benefit non-profits throughout Northeast Ohio. After the tragedy of 9/11, New York City absorbed such a large portion of all charitable donations that many local non-profits struggled to reach their own goals. In response, Executive Caterers rededicated our December Corporate Club luncheon to the support of local charities, especially smaller organizations without substantial resources of their own.

Ten years later, charities all across our region continue to benefit greatly from Harlan Diamond’s marvelously simple idea behind phil·an·thro·pi·a: the cost of admission is a tax-deductible check in the amount of $75 or more made out to the 501(c)(3) charity of your choice. Executive Caterers is proud to underwrite the cost of hosting the event’s stimulating program and special lunch so that our local non-profits can enjoy the full value of each donation without incurring any of the expenses usually associated with a fundraising event.

That first phil·an·thro·pi·a saw 200 guests and raised $9,000. Five years later, it had outgrown our Grand Ballroom, spilled into our Lander Ballroom, and with over 1200 guests, it raised over $128,000. Last year, with well over 1,000 guests and a winter storm, that figure was in excess of $300,000.

Executive Caterers is once again pleased and honored to have The Singing Angels perform for the 2012 phil·an·thro·pi·a Luncheon! We thank The Singing Angels for their many years of support and dedication to phil·an·thro·pi·a!
