It seems word has gotten out about the exhilarating combination of traditional favorites and new highlights for 2008 Komen Philadelphia Pink Tie Ball® on October 11, because even this early, the event is almost completely sold out.  But not to worry, a few tables remain-however they are going fast so make your reservations today. 

Topping the "what's new" list is Billig Jewelers, a first-time $100,000 Presenting Sponsor for the event.  In addition to Billig's stunning silent auction jewelry showcase, the live auction will feature the one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted necklace pictured here, valued at $20,000.  This piece has a pendant made of 18K yellow gold with faceted yellow diamonds and multi-color natural rough diamonds, framed by white full-cut diamonds and pink sapphires- an exclusive feature to embody the hope of the Pink Tie Ball. The chain is also 18K yellow gold with rough diamonds & pink sapphires set throughout.

Also new this year: Come taste what's new in the Pavilion culinary "hot-spot."  See renowned Chef, Daniel Stern, owner of the award-winning Rae Restaurant and Gayle Restaurant in action while you consider your silent auction bids on dozens of gifts from the area's top establishments. Daniel will be demonstrating culinary skills that have made him famous throughout Philadelphia and beyond, and giving you a taste of his very unique creations.
