For the Love of the Kids
MAR 2020
On March 6, 2020, “For the Love of the Kids” gathered 100 members from the Fox Chapel Area community to take part in a paddle play day. This round robin play with friends, old and new, provided a fun morning while celebrating what we can all do together. Dr. Hower was our guest speaker at lunch. He provided insight to what we can do together and shared already what our charity has done! We were so honored that so many people were able to come and share this day with us. All money raised will go directly to the families in the Fox Chapel Area School District.

Thanks to Fox Chapel community members, we were able to put big smiles on many faces this holiday season. Children in need from Kerr Elementary, Ohara Elementary, Hartwood Elementary, Dorseyville Middle school and Fox Chapel Area High School received donated items from their wish list including winter coats, clothing, puzzles, books, and gift cards.
Gifts and Girlfriends

A big thank you to the organizers of Gifts and Girlfriends which was held December 4 at the Fox Chapel Racquet Club.
