It is only the second such honor for an event, the first being The Penn Relays back in 2011. First contested in Philadelphia in 1899 at Franklin Field, the Army-Navy game has been held in the City of Brotherly Love 86 times. JFK/Municipal Stadium hosted the most, 41 times from 1936 through 1979. This year's game is Saturday, December 9 at Lincoln Financial Field. "Although the Army-Navy game is occasionally played elsewhere, it is most closely associated with Philadelphia," said Ken Avallon, Hall of Fame president. "With a tradition dating back over 100 years this Enshrinement honors the long-standing partnership between Army-Navy and the City of Brotherly Love." The Enshrinement is part of the Hall of Fame's 2017 Induction Ceremony, Thursday November 2 at the Hilton City Line Avenue in Philadelphia. Details are available at: http://phillyhall.org/2017.

That a city so rich in history continues to both celebrate and improve on its legacy is a testament to Philly pride and invention. The 2019 calendar starts with the 122nd Mummers Parade and continues with the world’s largest indoor Flower Show, the food-packed South 9th Street Italian Market Festival, the idiosyncratic Kensington Sculpture Derby, the epic Philly Beer Week, a 10-day Fourth of July celebration (Wawa Welcome America) and the nation’s oldest Thanksgiving Day Parade, to name a few. Here’s a look at what’s going on this year (and every year) in the Philadelphia region: January: • Mummers Parade – The lineup for the 122nd Mummers Parade includes 10,000 colorfully costumed people of all ages strutting down one of the city’s main streets. The troupes in the String Band division entertain crowds with live music and choreographed dances; the Fancy Brigades stage two elaborate indoor performances at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. January 1, 2019. phillymummers.com • Orchid Extravaganza – Longwood Gardens creates an absolutely transcendent experience for orchid lovers, perching and planting the rarest and most beautiful of flora from conservatories to outdoors.

  • Macquarie Investment Management and Penn Athletics Honor Student Athletes Graber, Stevens As Winter 2020 Community Champions
    Macquarie Investment Management and Penn Athletics honor student athletes Graber, Stevens as Winter 2020 Community Champions PHILADELPHIA, February 6, 2020 — University of Pennsylvania (Penn) Athletics and Macquarie Investment Management recognized student athletes Edie Noor Graber, a member of Penn’s women’s gymnastics team, and Tom Stevens, a member of the men’s lacrosse team, as the Winter 2020 Community Champions for their efforts in supporting the local Philadelphia community. Program participants from each of the associated community programs were also recognized. Girls Inc. participant, McKenzie Russell, was recognized alongside Graber and Young Quaker, Mamadou Sow, was recognized alongside Stevens. The mentor-mentee pairs were honored in an on-court presentation during the men's basketball game against Harvard on Jan. 31, 2020. Brett Wright, head of Client Solutions Group, Americas, for Macquarie Asset Management, and Dr. Grace Calhoun, Penn’s director of athletics, presented the awards. As part of the Macquarie-Penn Athletics partnership, Macquarie and Penn Athletics launched the Community Champion distinction last year to recognize student athletes who have exemplified deep commitment to their community through their involvement in Penn Athletics’ civic programs, including Girls Inc. of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey, Young Quakers Community Athletics (YQCA), Beat the Streets Philadelphia (BTSP), and Classroom Champions. “Our long-standing commitment to supporting the Philadelphia community has been a core value of our firm since 1929, when our mutual fund business was founded here in the city,” said Shawn Lytle, global head of Macquarie Investment Management and president of Delaware Funds® by Macquarie. “Macquarie is proud to sponsor Penn Athletics and recognize talented young men and women like Edie and Tom for their efforts in supporting marquee organizations like Girls Inc.

    ~ History of North Penn Area Public High School's Sports 1920 to Present by Dick Shearer Track dynasties are not created overnight, yet a combination of athletic excellence and properly primed public relations can go a long way. As early as 1920--long before Jim Crawford Sr. arrived on the scene--Lansdale High School was developing a national reputation, thanks to a series of superb relay teams that were perennial winners at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia. The 1920 team-comprised of Russell Kratz, Harry Hunsberger, Charles Beeman and Warren Wieand-claimed victory in the suburban mile relay, winning in a time of 3:40.2, a half second slower than the relay record established five years earlier by Cheltenham. Runner-up Media was eight yards off the Lansdale's pace. Word of the Maroon's success was top news on the front page of the May 6 Lansdale Republican. And no wonder. Joseph K. (Dobbie) Weaver not only coached the quartet to victory, but he was also editor of the newspaper -- hence he had a public forum to extol his runners' accomplishments. According to Weaver's account, so great was the feeling of school pride that a special assembly was held Monday morning (the races were held Friday and Saturday) to celebrate the victory with speeches, cheering and music-'a rousing exercise", the coach said. The following year -1921- Lansdale's relay team was well regarded, well recognized and was no longer in a position to surprise unsuspecting opponents. Still the Maroon prevailed in the Suburban mile, besting its previous time with a 3:36.8 to erase Cheltenham's six-year-long Penn Relay record.

  • Evolution of Spring Festivals at Penn
    button can be a window to an era. This A one certainly is. Long, wavy red hair and slightly askew shades frame a young man’s face while his lips curl into from a self-satisfied smile. Two fingers rise up to form a peace sign. Atop his head sits the nod to tradition: a revamped skimmer, closer to a floppy hippie hat than the original straw chapeau, adorned with the stars and stripes of an American flag. The slogan, SKIMMER ’71, erases any doubts about our character or his motives: he is a teaser, a throwback to a dying culture and a sign of movements to come. It began in 1949 as Callow Day, named after Penn’s celebrated varsity heavyweight crew coach, Russell “Rusty” Callow. After he to warned that crew would “die out as a major sport” at Penn if something wasn’t done, The Daily Pennsylvanian reported, a “tri- umvirate of well-meaning undergraduates” arranged to have an April day dedicated to watching races and cheering on the Penn crew team. A modest group of students re- sponded, gathering at the banks of the Schuylkill River and wearing the short, Looking back at the (r)evolution wide-brimmed straw hats that were Callow’s trademark. Two years later, when Callow of spring festivals at Penn. left Penn to coach the United States Naval Academy’s crew team, the hat remained and BY VIOLET BARON the event became Skimmer Day. Its popular- ity grew and Skimmer Day’s schedule ex- panded to include a student rally, a poster contest, and a cabaret dance in Houston Hall.
