What a fantastic evening at the Philadelphia Bond Club Garden Party 2026! Great weather, even better conversation, and an enthusiastic turnout from our members, friends, and family. It was terrific to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new ones, all while enjoying such a relaxed and well-put-together setting at the National Society of Colonial Dames. Events like this are a great reminder of how strong and collaborative the Philadelphia financial community really is.
Thank you to BCOP members Denise Gargan and Jon Scott for putting together such a wonderful night. Thank you to our trusty Sommeliers, Russ Johnson and Victoria Zajac for keeping the party going. Lastly, a big thank you to everyone who came out and helped make the night so memorable—we truly appreciate the time, energy, and enthusiasm, and we’re already looking forward to next year.
