Philly's busy Mayor Cherelle L. Parker isn't wasting any time today with a jam-packed schedule that has her zigzagging across the city. Kicking things off, Mayor Parker will drop some knowledge at the Greater Philadelphia Summit on Business Impact and Volunteerism. Leaders from all over the region will huddle to talk shop on Corporate Social Responsibility. This shindig goes down at the Hilton Philadelphia at 9:30 a.m. —folks better have their morning joe and be ready to listen.

Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia holds the mic next with Mayor Parker slated to jazz up their 15th annual Building Hope Luncheon. Scheduled for 12:30 p.m. at Marriott Downtown, Mayor Parker's expected to highlight success stories of homeowners who've turned their lives around, thanks to Habitat's efforts, at least according to the city's official announcement.

Later in the afternoon, Mayor Parker will be putting on her prestige face at the first-ever Philly Service Award Impact Awards Ceremony. Recognizing the hard graft of over 60 high schools, she'll no doubt be hoping to inspire even more student-led service projects across Philly. Drexel's Mandell Theater will be the hotspot at 5 p.m. sharp.

Wrapping up the day, the mayor invites Philadelphians to talk dollars and sense. At South Philadelphia's Xclusively Yours Events, starting at 6 p.m., Parker and other local bigwigs will break down the Fiscal Year 2025 Operating Budget and 5-year plan—but play it close to the vest. Full details on this have been shrouded in a bit of mystery, teased out in a separate media tease.
