Daniel Cronin and Robert Molinaro, co-founders of Chorus Communications and MetrospectEvents, held the first Hair O’ The Dog in 1994 as a fun and creative way to fundraise for nonprofits with 100 people at a venue in King of Prussia. Fast forward to their 25th Anniversary celebrated Saturday night, January 19 at the Crystal Tea Room where 1,200 people attended.
Headlining the evening was two-time Grammy Award winning artist T-Pain who performed at midnight during the 5-hour open bar and buffet event. Guests also danced to the sounds to DJ Party Favor, DJ Hollywood, DJ N9NE and DJ K Styles.
City of Philadelphia representative Sheila Hess was on hand and presented Chorus Communications with a citation from the city. A portion of the proceeds went to Morris Animal Refuge—America’s first animal shelter and Philadelphia’s only privately-funded, open-admission shelter.
Here are some photos of the event.
