Dick Vermeil to Emcee JerseyMan & PhillyMan Magazine’s 11th Annual Unmasking Gala November 5

Masquerade-themed celebration at Ballroom at the Ben honors six regional leaders and supports their charitable causes

PHILADELPHIA, PA — October 22, 2026 — Former Philadelphia Eagles head coach and Pro Football Hall of Famer Dick Vermeil will serve as emcee for JerseyMan & PhillyMan Magazine’s 11th Annual Unmasking Gala, taking place Thursday, November 5, 2026, from 6 to 10 p.m. at Ballroom at the Ben, 834 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia.

The masquerade-themed evening will recognize six Man & Woman of the Year honorees for their professional and philanthropic achievements, bringing together business and community leaders for a celebration of leadership, connection, and giving back.

Vermeil will guide the evening’s festivities as guests celebrate the honorees and the causes they champion. Wines from his Napa Valley wine company, Vermeil Wines, will also be a highlight of the evening’s live auction where people can bid on a personal wine tasting with Vermeil.

A portion of ticket and sponsorship proceeds, along with 100% of silent auction proceeds, will benefit the six honorees’ selected charities. All six organizations will receive a donation, with larger first- and second-place donations awarded to the charities represented by the two honorees who receive the most votes.

The 2026 Man & Woman of the Year honorees and their selected charities are:

John Aromando, supporting A Write to Heal
Morgan DeNicola, supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Philadelphia Region
Joseph DiGiacomo, supporting Sound Mind Network
Allison Eckel, supporting Scouting America Garden State Council
Steve Grandizio, supporting Little Smiles
Dr. Ashanti Holley, supporting Inspiring Life Together Inc.
