JerseyMan/PhillyMan Magazine Celebrates 10th Annual Unmasking Gala: Tournament of Champions

A Decade of Honoring Extraordinary Leaders Who Inspire Change

PHILADELPHIA, PA – November 4, 2025 — JerseyMan and PhillyMan Magazine are proud to announce the 10th Annual Unmasking Gala: Tournament of Champions, a milestone celebration marking a decade of honoring the region’s most influential leaders. The highly anticipated black-tie-optional, masquerade-themed event will take place on Thursday, November 13, 2025, from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at The Ballroom at the Ben, 834 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA.

The Unmasking Gala has become one of the region’s premier philanthropic celebrations—uniting business and community leaders for an evening of recognition, connection, and giving back. Each year, six honorees are named Man and Woman of the Year, chosen for their professional excellence and deep commitment to making a difference through philanthropy.

This year’s distinguished honorees include:

Bill Brandt supporting: Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation
Jerry Flanagan supporting: The JDOG Foundation
Lloyd Freeman supporting: Philadelphia Ballet
Suzy Pratowski supporting: Bringing Hope Home
Kimberly S. Reed supporting: Philadelphia Hope Lodge (American Cancer Society)
Marla Viturello supporting: Eagles Autism Foundation

As part of the Tournament of Champions theme, the 10th anniversary will feature an extra special reunion of top past honorees—bringing back the most celebrated Man and Woman of the Year recipients from the past decade for an unforgettable night of recognition and reflection. Co-founder of Lemon Rose Golf, Jillian Mele is the emcee of this beautiful night of celebration, connection, and impact. PayDay Payroll and Tito’s vodka are the official charity check sponsors.

“This tenth anniversary represents more than an event—it’s a movement,” said Ken Dunek, Publisher of JerseyMan and PhillyMan Magazine. “Over the last ten years, our honorees have raised awareness, funds, and hope for countless causes. This year, we’re celebrating not only their accomplishments but the community they’ve built together.”

Guests will enjoy a four-hour top-shelf open bar featuring Tito’s Handmade Vodka, culinary food stations, complimentary parking and coat check, and live entertainment by DJ MONTONE. For the first time, all tickets are VIP, granting full access to every part of the venue. The celebration continues with an exclusive after-party at Winston Social Club, with free shuttle service provided by Metropolis Passenger Logistics.

A portion of ticket and sponsor proceeds—along with 100% of the silent auction proceeds—will benefit the honorees’ chosen charities. Guests will also have the opportunity to select which honoree and charity their ticket supports during checkout, with the top two honorees receiving additional first- and second-place donations.

Attendees are encouraged to embrace the masquerade theme with their own masks or purchase one onsite for $10, with all proceeds benefiting the charities.
