Drew Murray, a volunteer “Phambassador,” addressed last week’s meeting of the Holme Circle Civic Association.
The Philadelphia Visitor Center is seeking to recruit at least 5,000 Phambassadors to promote the city during next year’s celebration of the nation’s 250th birthday.
Major events in Philadelphia in 2026 include March Madness, the World Cup and the Major League Baseball All-Star Game.
Members of the public are invited to take the pledge to become a Phambassador at Phambassadors.com. For more information, follow the Phambassadors pages on Facebook and Instagram.
