[event] 'Mr. Philadelphia Socialite' Isaac M. Hamm III Celebrates Milestone Birthday with a Purpose

This Friday, December 23, IM3 Media CEO, Isaac M. Hamm III, will host his first annual charity birthday bash at Gallerie Isada, located at 3320 Collins Street in Kensington from 8:00pm to 2:00am. HHM had a chance to catch up with Isaac to talk about this upcoming event and how much it means for him to continue giving back to the city of Philadelphia. 

HHM: What made you want to include a charity element into your birthday bash?

Isaac: Last year was the start of adding a cause to celebrating my birthday. Last year me and my staff (IM3Media.com) went out to Love Park to feed the homeless soup and I called it “Soup’r Saturdays”. Dec 19^th was the date. It really opened my eyes to what people are going through. So I decided that this year I would work alongside an organization Chosen300.org located at 11th and Spring Garden street.  

HHM: How did you become involved with the Chosen300 organization?

Isaac: I attended an event where proceeds were being given to the organization. I listened to their mission and wanted to know more so I did my research and set up a meeting with Brian Jenkins the founder of Chosen300. After our meeting I started coming to the center to help serve food. Each time I did it I had about 7 to 10 people come with me to help also. They do great things there. Outside of feeding people they also help them find jobs.

HHM: What goes into planning an event of this magnitude? How did you choose your venue?

Isaac: A whole lot (lol). It really takes a team to put on an event like this. It’s about five of us working on this party and things are moving like they are suppose to.  We have our press release going around trying to get the word out to local media to let them know about the event. Chaseing media is so much fun, sike. But I love what I do. The venue is the Gallerie Isada located on Collins street in the Kensington section of Philadelphia. This venue has all the bells and whistles from top to bottom and from inside to outside. Art work all on the walls. The royal color theme gives you a comforting feeling. It’s a must see and I came across this venue a while back for another event and fell in love with it.

HHM: How did you get the name "Mr. Philadelphia Socialite"? 

Isaac: Well it was given to me by Ms. Dyana Williams, co-founder of Black Music Month. We were at Warmdaddy's, I believe, and she was shocked to see me out and about and she said "You are a Philadelphia Socialite". I had to go research all it took to be a socialite (lol). But it wasn’t until I was turning 30 that I wanted to use that title. I feel this charity birthday bash is going to set me up for greatness and I want to bring it in right. Giving back is a passion of mine and the best gift that I can give to myself is to give back.
