The Drifters, Inc. of Southeastern Pennsylvania held its 15th Annual “Hattitude for Education” Hat Auction and Luncheon, on March 26, 2018 at the Sheraton Valley Forge. Proceeds from the event benefitted the Drifters Scholarship Fund.
The theme for this year’s Hattitude was “Help a student Rise Up!” That’s exactly what the sell-out crowd did when members of the group took to the stage in fabulous hats!
These ladies choreographed a spectacular routine that generated a huge round of applause.
