We are proud to partner with Manna & Pie in the Sky.
Come for a pie tasting at Past*Present*Future, 15 W. Lancaster Ave. in Ardmore from 6:00 - 10:00 pm.
It’s pie time, and you can make a difference! MANNA, a non-profit organization that delivers nourishment to people with life-threatening illnesses, is selling pies for the 12th annual Pie in the Sky, presented by US Airways. With a goal to sell over 14,000 pies and raise $400,000, this year’s Pie in the Sky will be bigger and better than ever.
For only $25, you can provide a MANNA client with three nutritious meals and in return take home a delicious Apple, Pecan, Pumpkin, or Sweet Potato pie. For $35, you can select our new US Airways SkyPie, a little bit of gourmet heaven with a rich dark chocolate ganache atop a creamy cheese cake center, and be entered to win two $500 travel vouchers from US Airways.
Bring home a gourmet desert for Thanksgiving, show your employees you care, sweeten your client relationships… whatever your reason for purchasing pies, every helping helps! And helping never tasted so good!
