Some people make a difference in their community because it’s part of their job. Others do it because it’s part of who they are. Steve Grandizio is the second kind, and this fall he’s being recognized for it.
JerseyMan & PhillyMan Magazine has named Steve one of six 2026 Man & Woman of the Year Honorees, celebrating his professional and philanthropic achievements. He’ll be honored at the magazine’s 11th Annual Unmasking, and the Prelude team would love for our fellow BCA Philadelphia members to celebrate with us.
Event Details
Thursday, November 5, 2026, 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Ballroom at the Ben, 834 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107
Attire: Dress to impress, masquerade themed
Every ticket is VIP and includes a four-hour top-shelf open bar, food stations, music, complimentary parking and coat check, and a free shuttle to the after party courtesy of Metropolis Passenger Logistics. It’s a night to connect with like-minded Philadelphia professionals while supporting a great cause.
Your Ticket Is Also Your Vote
Each honoree has chosen a charity they’re passionate about. Steve is supporting Little Smiles, and your ticket purchase gives you the chance to direct your support to his cause.
A portion of ticket and sponsor proceeds, plus 100% of silent auction proceeds, benefits every honoree charity. The two honorees who receive the most votes earn a larger first and second place donation for their charity, so every vote for Steve and Little Smiles makes a real difference.
How to vote: Complete the entire checkout form. After you enter your payment information, a prompt will appear asking for your honoree vote. Please select Steve Grandizio and Little Smiles. The prompt only appears after purchase, so be sure not to close the page early.
Celebrate With Us
We’re incredibly proud of Steve, and we can’t think of a better way to close out the year than celebrating alongside our BCA community. We hope to see you there, mask on and ready to party for a cause.
