About 4th Friday Wine and Cheese Organizers

The origins of 4th Friday Wine & Cheese trace back to September 2005 where its founding members; Thaddeus Govan Jr., Karma Pace, Rudyard Snaggs, Sa’d & Abu Tilghman (Thaddeus Govan Jr. Photography, KRenee, LLC., RL Snaggs and Whole Unit Holdings respectively) met during a orientation, for Philadelphia Development Partnership/Community Capital Works workshops.  While attending the workshops (www.pdp-inc.org) the founding members decided to pull resources together and host yearly events.

This year’s organizers and sponsors include Philadelphia Development Partnership (www.pdp-inc.org), Whole Unit Holdings, (www.wholeunit.com), FullCircle Aesthetics (www.fullcircleaes.com), Thaddeus Govan Photography, and Whole Foods Market (www.wholefoods.com).  Each year we welcome an influx of budding entrepreneurs to become organizers however, the principle behind 4th Friday Wine and Cheese remains the same, personal and professional advancement through community service.
