About.

Established in 2018

The WHP team has worked together for 10 years.  Combining our passion for adventure and creativity leading us to create Trails4Tails Fest, Chasing the Mermaid and Cheers to Charity a Benefit for Autism Cares. Through the success of these collaborations we decided to expand our passion and formed WHP. ​

Producing a great event that brings people together makes our heart run wild with excitement and joy.  We strive to feel this in every event we produce.

WHP Team

Anthony Accardo
Co-Founder

Anthony is an upbeat, energetic leader with a passion for producing special events.  He has a knack for executing creative and unique events, beginning with his time developing an award winning wine and beverage program with monthly themed pairing events and dinners to co-founding the Epicurean Palette at Rat’s Restaurant (1999 to 2008).  When Anthony left the restaurant business to work in the wine and spirits industry he re-discovered his love for running which lead to discovering multi-sport.  He has completed six Survival of the Shawangunks (SOS) races, multiple half-Iron distance events, and is a five time finisher at the HAT Run 50K ultra. Anthony founded the Bucks County Triathlon Club in 2012 where today he presides as President. Anthony’s passion for executing distinctive events extends from the food and wine industry to multisport, founding the annual BCTC Splash & Dash, Kick the Keg 5K, Trails4Tails Fest co-founded with Trish, and more.  

Fun Fact: When Anthony was 14 his grandfather took him to see the movie "Stripes". To this day it's still one of his favorite movies and memories.

Trish Gray
Co-Founder 

Trish is a marketing and graphic design guru who has a passion for creating unique and exciting events to raise awareness and money.  Prior to co-founding WHP, Trish worked for over 15 years in graphic design and marketing, successfully partnering with clients to understand their needs and represent their brands in their markets.  Her marketing background and involvement with a local non-profit animal rescue led to her new passion in event-planning when she joined efforts with Anthony to create (and execute) Trails4Tails Fest.  She takes pleasure in seeing events come together and is driven by her desire to help and inspire others.  She is a craft beer aficionado (which makes for a good time at events!), has hosted beer inspired artisan craft shows, and made guest appearances on craft beer radio and TV programs as her alter ego Geeky Beer Gal.  She loves going outside her comfort zone and challenging herself earning a first-degree black belt at 44. As Trish likes to say, "Bruises and scars just show you are living life".

Fun Fact: Trish has a love for music ranging from the Grateful Dead to Adam Ant mixed in with some Billie Holiday and Dolly Parton.
