If you shop on Amazon, bookmark smile.amazon.com/ instead, and choose Home ​ ​ ​ ​ and School Association of Penn Alexander School as your charity. ​ A percentage of every purchase will go to PAS. Share the information about both of these programs with neighbors and extended family members. They are open to everyone. This Thanksgiving, while you give thanks for food, friends, and family, don’t forget those who have little to be thankful for… Thanksgiving is a time for sharing, caring, family, and, well, food. Unfortunately, there are many people in our community who won’t spend Thanksgiving surrounded by food, family and friends. Many of them are homeless, needy and otherwise destitute. We know you care about needy families in University City as much as we do. The University City Hospitality Coalition (UCHC) has been serving University City’s homeless and needy for THIRTY-FIVE YEARS and is an all-volunteer non-profit organization. Four evenings a week, 52 weeks a year, the UCHC provides hot meals to our homeless and needy neighbors, as well as bag lunches on Saturdays and an additional Sunday meal during the school year. We also provide a medical clinic, a legal clinic, dental assistance, a mailing address, and referrals to shelters, job placement, and other services. Please help us help families in need this Thanksgiving… Through the faculty, students and families of the Penn Alexander School, we will, for the EIGHTEENTH year, be collecting canned fruits and vegetables for our meals. We need your help to continue feeding poor and homeless families in University City. Because of the number of people we serve, we prefer “commercial” size cans, #10 (≈7 lb.) or #3 (≈3 lb.), of common fruits and vegetables (e.g., fruit salad, sweet potatoes, green beans, corn). Bottles of BBQ sauce and pancake syrup are also appreciated. Thank you for your continuing support. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Your giving doesn’t have to end here… Here are five other ways you can give of your time and resources to UCHC: 1. Tell a person in need about UCHC. Handouts are attached to pass on to anyone you think could use a meal. 2. Volunteer at a meal site. Groups of 2-3 are welcome 5:00-7:00 PM, especially over school holidays. 3. Use this form to send us a tax-deductible monetary gift. Because UCHC is an all-volunteer organization, 100% of your gift will be used to help our needy clients.

    1 Frequently Asked Questions About Penn Park Q: What is Penn Park? A: Penn Park is 24 acres of contiguous open space that includes athletic and recreational facilities owned and operated by the University of Pennsylvania. This new amenity lies to the east of the Levy Tennis Pavilion, bordered by Walnut Street, AMTRAK’s Northeast Corridor rail line and South Street. Q: What are the athletic facilities in the Park? A: Proceeding south from Walnut Street; the Park contains Ace Adams field and Dunning-Cohen Champions field, both multipurpose NCAA regulation athletic fields; a 470- seat multipurpose stadium that is also an NCAA regulation women’s softball field; and 12 tennis courts, with 200 seat viewing stands. Between these facilities are pathways, elevated bridge connections and open space for passive recreation; 530 trees adorn the landscaped pathways for walking and jogging. The Park is served by a 210-car surface parking lot bordering the north boundary along Lower Walnut Street. In addition, a security station and restrooms reside in the stadium. Q: Is Penn Park just for athletic use? A: Penn Park integrates athletic venues and park like spaces. It has two acres of open spaces that are agile in use and not specified for athletic use. They are: the South Lawn, an open space between Ace Adams Field and the multipurpose stadium; the Picnic Grove - an open space nestled between the Dunning-Cohen Champions Field and the multipurpose stadium and the South Green, a grass recreation field south of the Hamlin Tennis Center.

  • IMPACT REPORT a Message from Our President/CEO

    IMPACT REPORT a Message from Our President/CEO

    2018 IMPACT REPORT A Message From Our President/CEO If those close to Ed Snider were asked to name his most admirable qualities, it’s doubtful that patience would make the list. That’s not to say Ed didn’t put a lot of thought into what he did. It’s just that he believed sooner or later (and for Ed, it was most often sooner) the time comes to put an idea to the test—and if necessary—refine it on the fly. From our inception in 2005, Ed encouraged us to think boldly. If we saw a need or an opportunity (Ed typically thought these were two sides of the same coin), he urged us to take action. And—while we’ve grown in ways that may have surprised even Ed, we’re still inspired by his healthy restlessness. Consider some of the bold steps taken in 2018: u The University of the Sciences and Elizabethtown College were added to our cadre of higher education partners, providing our students with two more terrific post-secondary institutions at which they can access full college scholarships through our Goals & Assists program and graduate free of debt. u In efforts to deepen our commitment to foster good citizenship, broaden students’ horizons, and support our children, youth, and families in times of crisis, we created two new full-time positions: Coordinator of Service Learning & Career Development and Community Resource Specialist. u The Pew Charitable Trusts selected us to participate in its Evaluation Capacity Building Initiative, a rigorous 18-month training curriculum that will help us become even better at using data to measure and evaluate our success.
  • Fall 2011 Newsletter Dear Friends of Penn Ice Hockey

    Fall 2011 Newsletter Dear Friends of Penn Ice Hockey

    From our Alumni Board..... Fall 2011 Newsletter Dear Friends of Penn Ice Hockey: As the Penn Hockey season kicks off, I’m reminded of the things that make the program so great: the people, the traditions, and the legacy. First and foremost, the student athletes are the heart of the Men’s and Women’s programs. They dedicate 20+ hours every week from September until March to represent Penn Hockey. Current players Bill Matczak and Michaela Flaherty, as well as the rest of the captains and officers have demonstrated very strong leadership throughout the past year. The coaching staff and team volunteers are equally as committed as the players, contributing their own personal time that would otherwise be spent with friends, family, and their studies. Ad- ditionally, Mike Reno and the rest of the Penn Rec Structured Sport team have provided endless support for the programs and the Alumni Board. Second, Penn Hockey’s traditions serve as a link from the program’s past to its present. The team’s student leadership hosted the inaugural Club Ivy Championships last year which rekindled Ancient Eight rivalries with Princeton, Harvard, and Brown. The team plans to host the tournament again this upcoming February. The Homecoming Alumni Game on November 5th will be seventh year that alumni will gather at the Class of 1923 Rink to share a spirited game on the ice and share memories off the ice. Last year’s game featured alumni span- ning five decades of Penn Hockey -- from the class of 1959 to the class of 2009. This also marks the fourth year that the program’s Brian Reagan ’02 Leadership Award will be presented.
