SUPPORT THE CENTER ON THE HILL

Dear Friends,

The Center on the Hill is thrilled to be starting its 15th year serving our community of active adults! For the past five and a half years, it has been a joy for me to lead the Center on the Hill, as it navigated the pandemic, and then the return to in person activities after offering exclusively online programming for a year. When we re-opened our doors in April 2021 I was uncertain how long our “return to normal” would take, but I am pleased to say as of this Fall we are experiencing higher participation numbers than we were pre-pandemic. It has been really rewarding to see so many community members discovering us, and enjoying all the excellent programming we offer

This season I am asking you to help make it possible for us to continue offering our excellent programming at little or no cost to our participants, as well as developing new and engaging activities. If you have enjoyed The Center on the Hill, and our classes and events, would you please consider supporting us by donating to our 2024 Appeal? Your contribution will help us to fulfill our vision of offering quality programming both in-person and online, to people who are just discovering the center, as well as those who often join us at “…the place for active adults.”

Any amount you can give today will help us with some of the ever increasing programming costs, and ensure we can continue to offer the excellent programs and activities you have come to expect.

To donate by Credit Card please follow the secure PayPal link below.

To donate by check please make checks payable to “PCCH” , write “COTH Donation” on the Memo Line, and mail them to: The Center on the Hill, 8855 Germantown Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19118

Thank you very much for your consideration and support as we look forward to another vibrant year ahead at The Center on the Hill…the place for active adults.

With gratitude,

Mariangela Saavedra, Director
