“We are very excited for what has become a cherished and highly-anticipated annual tradition,” said Mt. Airy, USA Executive Director Anuj Gupta in a release. “‘Guess who’ is a wonderful opportunity to meet and interact with each other and community-minded Philadelphians. It also allows our organization to showcase itself and the wonderful community it serves.”
