Baker Industries returns to the Merion Cricket Club on Saturday, September 26, 2026 for our 45th Annual Gala and Silent Auction — an evening celebrating the power of work and the community that makes it possible.
This year’s theme, “A Blueprint for Excellence,” honors Carter Mechanical, Inc. and Andrew Carter, a longtime sponsor, major contributor to the Justin Baker Endowment Fund, and steady champion of the belief that real work for real pay changes lives.
And then there’s the auction. Our silent auction is a Gala tradition in its own right — unique golf experiences, one-of-a-kind gifts and jewelry, and signed sports memorabilia all go on the block, and every winning bid goes straight to work supporting our mission.
Individual tickets are $225, with Young Friends tickets at $100 for guests under 35. Sponsorship opportunities run from Bronze ($1,000) through Presenting Sponsor ($10,000), with benefits including VIP tables, podium recognition, and visibility across our event website and social media.

Save the date, spread the word, and plan to join us for a night worth celebrating.
