Phambassadors will serve as Philly champions, advocates, and storytellers ahead of the Semquincentennial. They will be trained on how to represent the city's energy, culture, and spirit on a global stage. The launch event featured pom-poms, foam fingers, a giant pledge card, cheerleaders, a DJ, drum lines, and pep bands.
