You Helped Us Raise Nearly $140,000 Last Week

Stephanie Lin

Thanks to you, our 2018 Bring Philly HOME event last Thursday surpassed our expectations in so many ways—over 400 supporters attended the event, we welcomed more sponsors than ever before, and exceeded our fundraising goals. And, once again, our Rising Leaders Committee planned and executed a fun, inspiring evening.

We heard a wonderful story from Project HOME resident, Bonita Pritchette, about coming home and overcoming struggles, and Sister Mary Scullion shared how we are working together to be the first city to end and prevent street homelessness.  Many thanks to our Emcee, Brian Taff of 6abc news and our wonderful Rising Leader Co-Chairs, Caitlin Ferry and Susan Miller.

The night's most heartening outcome was your enthusiastic dedication to our shared work to end chronic street homelessness in Philadelphia. Showing up matters. Thank you for joining us, celebrating our successes and resolving anew to forge a kinder, more equitable future for our city.

Your support matters. Thank you for all that you do to make our city a better place for all Philadelphians.
