What is that thermometer all about?
The Chestnut Hill Community Association is enthusiastically working to raise funds for this year’s Chestnut Hill Community Fund Drive. As you walk past Borders, you will notice a large thermometer hanging in the Volunteer Memorial Garden. The thermometer indicates our fundraising progress to date. We want the fund drive “temperature” to resemble winter in sunny Florida, not chilly Philadelphia. Please donate today. With an impressive goal of $100,000, the Chestnut Hill Community Fund Drive has received donations from over 490 donors totaling $52,101 thus far. The fund drive concludes March 31, and we need your help to reach our goal. The fund drive is an annual campaign aimed at every member of this community and beyond to raise funds for local programs and organizations. All of your contributions to the fund drive are directly reinvested into the Chestnut Hill community. Grant requests were submitted by 21 local organizations this year. The combined dollar amount requested by these programs is in excess of $120,000. The total amount of funds available to answer these requests relies entirely on contributions collected through March 31. These important community organizations include J. S. Jenks School, Keystone Hospice, Buckley Park, CHCA Blood Drive, Friends of the Wissahickon, Teenagers Inc., Volunteer Memorial Garden, Town Watch, Pastorius Park Summer Concert Series, St. Martin’s Station Committee, Chestnut Hill Meals on Wheels, Senior Center, Chestnut Hill Garden District Fund, Northwest Victim Services, Chestnut Hill Youth Sports Club, Friends of the Wyndmoor Train Station, Friends of the Fountain Plaza, The Crefeld School, Hatch Dance Theater, Land Use Planning and Zoning Committee and the Development Review Committee.
