There is only ONE month until Battle of the Paddles! Players of all skill levels are invited to join us at Bounce Philly from 11:00 am - 2:00 pm for a mixed-doubles tournament. All funds raised towards our $30,000 goal support Bethesda Project, a nonprofit that provides shelter, housing, and services for unhoused Philadelphians.

Today is gloomy, but last Thursday certainly was not! Our guests and residents celebrated together at our Annual Family Picnic at FDR Park. Thank you to all who made this event a success!

Last night, our Young Professionals Advisory Board (YPAB) held its first meeting of the 2026-2027 season! The group dove right into planning volunteer activities and fundraisers for the upcoming year and is actively seeking to bring aboard new members. If you are a young professional (21-40) who's excited about giving back to the Philadelphia community, visit the link below to learn how you can get involved.
