What do you get when you combine goats, art, philanthropy, and an incredible community? An unforgettable evening.

Last week, the 12th Street Catering team had the opportunity to help bring A Gathering of Goats to life at InLiquid in support of Philly Goat Project. From the creative menu and event details to supporting the talented partners and volunteers who made it all happen, our team loved every minute of this one-of-a-kind event.

It was inspiring to see artists, supporters, and community members come together for such an important cause while celebrating the incredible work Philly Goat Project does throughout our region.

A huge thank you to Philly Goat Project, InLiquid, Claire Rosen, and everyone who joined us for this magical evening.
