1. Pride. Challenge. Opportunity. All are words associated with the
Coatesville community. Our community. The nine municipalities in the Coatesville Area
School District have become our strategic priority because it is here, where our roots
lie, that the greatest need persists and the opportunity to have impact is dramatic.
We’re honored to lead the largest philanthropy dedicated solely to improving health in
a community we’re proud to serve.
In addition to being the principal funder of top quality nonprofits serving this
community, our role at the Brandywine Health Foundation is to advocate for the
Coatesville area so that it remains on the county’s—and in fact, the region’s—radar.
Luckily, we have found willing and able partners in the region’s philanthropic
community, and our county’s business and elected leadership. Their Vista 2025 study
pointed directly to Coatesville as the community where the greatest opportunity
exists to truly move the needle toward complete, equitable economic health for the
entire county.
Our staff, board and volunteers are proud advocates because this is a community
with a proud heritage, tremendous diversity, and deep relationships. We believe that
Coatesville area children deserve to grow up in a safe, vibrant community with every
opportunity for the best health care, quality education and out-of-school youth
development opportunities. We have an obligation and responsibility to shine the
light on problems that exist because openness and transparency are crucial to finding
solutions that will work. You have been our partners in identifying issues that deserve
our attention and we are grateful for your guidance.
So, we’re shining the light on issues like the racial disparity in birth outcomes that
put so many African-American babies at a disadvantage from the very beginning. And
we’re not turning a blind eye to the challenges our school district faces. A collective
community effort led to a new school board and superintendent who are wrestling
with a myriad of issues that must be addressed if our children are to receive the top
quality education taken for granted in more affluent communities. Transformation
will take time, but we appreciate the current emphasis on community partnerships
like our nationally recognized Youth Mental Health First Aid program, and our new
Youth Philanthropy program, so generously supported by Citadel.
As we address problems you’ve said are critical, we also want to assist when there are
opportunities to tell others what’s unique and important about our community, like
its rich history. That’s why we worked closely with Coatesville’s City Council and
others to plan a series of events to recognize the City of Coatesville’s Centennial Year.
So, if you too feel pride of place, if you believe that the Coatesville area has the
potential to become not just proud of its strengths, but of its progress in overcoming
its challenges, then we hope you’ll join us on one of the many exciting projects and
events happening here. Because no progress happens by chance—it happens
because you and people like you care enough to give back with pride. Thank you.

Notes to the Statement of Activities: Three categories of income and
expense can impact the foundation’s change in Net Assets from year to year
significantly. Investment income can swing dramatically depending upon
stock market performance. And, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP) standards require the recording of a grant commitment in the year
in which it was made, even if the intent is to cover expenses over several
years. This practice impacts contributions given to the foundation
(Contributions and Grants), as well as grants made to other nonprofits
by the foundation (Program Services). This year, the BHS Transitional
Corporation wound down operations and donated two properties to the
foundation as In-Kind Contributions: the Consignment Shop property,
which will continue to operate to benefit the community, and the Pyle Farm,
which is available for sale.
Notes to the Statement of Financial Position: Loans Receivable
represent funds borrowed by Brandywine Health Housing, LP, due to
the foundation for the development of the Brandywine Center, and a loan
previously due from the BHS Transitional Corporation, which was resolved
with the donation of land appraised at a higher amount (see above). Grants
Payable include commitments to ChesPenn Health Services and the Public
Safety Training Facility Foundation.

The Alene McDermott Memorial Scholarship
Fund was established in loving memory of
a talented acoustic guitar player and
vocalist (photo above) who lost her long
battle with breast and ovarian cancers in
2010. To perpetuate her optimistic spirit and
inspirational musicianship, her family and
friends established the fund to provide
scholarships to graduating high school
students from the Coatesville Area High
School who wish to embark on music or
art careers.
This year’s recipient is 2015 graduate and
multi-instrumentalist Jacob Byrnes. Now
majoring in music technology at the
California Institute of the Arts in Valencia,
Byrnes is using the scholarship funds for
both his education and some “insanely
helpful” high-tech electronics he is now
using to craft original music.
“I’m a huge supporter of women in music,” he
says of Mrs. McDermott, “and I am extremely
honored and humbled that I’ve been given
such a vote of confidence.”
When Ronjae Jones was selected as the fourth
recipient of the foundation’s Harry Lewis Jr.
Scholarship Award, he said that State Rep.
Harry Lewis “has affected my life, as a man,
role model and leader. I don’t just carry
myself; I carry my family and my community
with me wherever I go. I represent Coatesville,
and I do my best to represent it as the good
city that it is.”
Jones, who credits the Coatesville Youth
Initiative for instilling him with self-
confidence and insight, is now a freshman
majoring in cinema and television at
Morehouse College in Atlanta.

Notes to the Statement of Activities: Three categories of income and
expense can impact the foundation’s change in Net Assets from year to year
significantly. Investment income can swing dramatically depending upon
stock market performance. And, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP) standards require the recording of a grant commitment in the year
in which it was made, even if the intent is to cover expenses over several
years. This practice impacts contributions given to the foundation
(Contributions and Grants), as well as grants made to other nonprofits
by the foundation (Program Services). This year, the BHS Transitional
Corporation wound down operations and donated two properties to the
foundation as In-Kind Contributions: the Consignment Shop property,
which will continue to operate to benefit the community, and the Pyle Farm,
which is available for sale.
Notes to the Statement of Financial Position: Loans Receivable
represent funds borrowed by Brandywine Health Housing, LP, due to
the foundation for the development of the Brandywine Center, and a loan
previously due from the BHS Transitional Corporation, which was resolved
with the donation of land appraised at a higher amount (see above). Grants
Payable include commitments to ChesPenn Health Services and the Public
Safety Training Facility Foundation.

The Alene McDermott Memorial Scholarship
Fund was established in loving memory of
a talented acoustic guitar player and
vocalist (photo above) who lost her long
battle with breast and ovarian cancers in
2010. To perpetuate her optimistic spirit and
inspirational musicianship, her family and
friends established the fund to provide
scholarships to graduating high school
students from the Coatesville Area High
School who wish to embark on music or
art careers.
This year’s recipient is 2015 graduate and
multi-instrumentalist Jacob Byrnes. Now
majoring in music technology at the
California Institute of the Arts in Valencia,
Byrnes is using the scholarship funds for
both his education and some “insanely
helpful” high-tech electronics he is now
using to craft original music.
“I’m a huge supporter of women in music,” he
says of Mrs. McDermott, “and I am extremely
honored and humbled that I’ve been given
such a vote of confidence.”
When Ronjae Jones was selected as the fourth
recipient of the foundation’s Harry Lewis Jr.
Scholarship Award, he said that State Rep.
Harry Lewis “has affected my life, as a man,
role model and leader. I don’t just carry
myself; I carry my family and my community
with me wherever I go. I represent Coatesville,
and I do my best to represent it as the good
city that it is.”
Jones, who credits the Coatesville Youth
Initiative for instilling him with self-
confidence and insight, is now a freshman
majoring in cinema and television at
Morehouse College in Atlanta.

5. ecently, counselors at the
BOYS G3 co-ed after-school
homework program run by James
Hills, a Coatesville Area School
District (CASD) board member,
twice intervened after hearing two
different youths discussing suicide.
So did five cafeteria workers at the
North Brandywine Middle School
after noticing that a student appeared
withdrawn and isolated.
“ This training empowers
lay people to know the
signs and symptoms of a
mental health crisis, then
to act by knowing where
to send those in need.”
—Alyson Ferguson, MPH
Scattergood Foundation
Hundreds Trained to Provide Mental Health First Aid toYouth in Crisis
The counselors and cafeteria workers
felt emboldened to summon help thanks
to the Youth Mental Health First Aid
(YMHFA) program training that they
underwent. Introduced by the
Brandywine Health Foundation, the
Coatesville program—using the
National Council for Behavioral Health’s
evidence-based curriculum—has already
garnered national attention, resulting
in a two-year federal grant to the CASD,
one of just 105 U.S. school districts to
receive such recognition.
During the past year, Hills’ volunteers
and the cafeteria workers were among
the 301 people who underwent the
all-day training sessions. Fifty-eight
percent were school district employees,
including teachers, cafeteria workers,
custodians and secretarial staff; the
remainder were interested citizens.
“It’s basic mental health first aid or CPR
that gives the general public tools to
respond if they see someone in an acute
crisis,” says Linda Thompson Adams,
RN, DRPH, the professor of nursing
and dean of the College of Health
Sciences at West Chester University
(WCU) who chairs the foundation’s
YMHFA Advisory Board and serves on
the foundation’s board of directors.
“Such a stigma surrounds mental health
issues that people often are reluctant to
talk about them,” adds Alyson Ferguson,
MPH, the Thomas Scattergood
Behavioral Health Foundation’s
grant-making director. “This training
empowers laypeople to know the signs
and symptoms of a mental health crisis,
then to act by knowing where to send
those in need for help.”
Compared to Chester County youths
overall, higher percentages of CASD
youths report feeling depressed or sad
most days. In response, last year the
BHF, First Hospital, Marshall-Reynolds,
Scattergood and van Ameringen
foundations formed a funding
collaborative to launch a four-year
YMHFA program that also includes
county, state and federal agencies.
(See donor list for all YMHFA funders.)
Based on 15-question pre- and post-
training surveys evaluated by Stacie
M. Metz, WCU associate professor
of graduate social work, the training
significantly raises awareness about
the proper way to respond to troubled
youths—and gives participants the
confidence to do so.
“Because of the training, everyone
in our program knew to ask those
questions of the two youths in our
program and they felt comfortable
doing it,” says Hills, a YMHFA Advisory
Board member.
Another YMHFA Advisory Board member,
Richard Newman, MD, a retired
psychiatrist who has similarly trained
many health professionals, initially was
skeptical that it could be effective with
nonprofessionals—until the Marshall-
Reynolds Foundation trustee himself
underwent the training: “I was very
impressed because of the very realistic
goals they set: opening up human
contact with troubled people and giving
them someone to speak with.”
Concludes Metz: “Our evaluation most
definitely shows promising evidence
that the YMHFA program improves the
knowledge, attitudes and confidence
of people to better deal with youths
exhibiting mental health symptoms.”
Training and Dr. Metz’s evaluation will
continue in the CASD for three more
years, with hundreds more to be trained
and study results that can be used
nationwide to assure we are helping
young people—before it’s too late.
R
The most dramatic improvements:
• The percentage of trainees who
correctly believe “You should ask
a youth who tells you they are
thinking about suicide whether
they have a plan to do so”
increased from 47 percent to 93
percent.
• The percentage of trainees who
correctly said it is false that “You
should not ask someone if they
are feeling suicidal in case you
put the idea in their head” rose
from 60 to 88 percent.

6. The City of Coatesville launched its 100-year anniversary celebration on April 27,
2015, at the soon-to-be-modernized Coatesville train station. City Council President
Linda Lavender Norris served as mistress of ceremonies and was joined by
Pennsylvania Secretary of Transportation Leslie Richards, and other elected officials.
Other centennial events included a reunion for graduates of the historic black James
Adams School; a July Community Unity Day celebration; the Brandywine Center’s
Block Party; a Heritage Day in October highlighting the Lukens Historic District,
Gateway Park and Ash Park; and the Coatesville Christmas Parade.
BHF CEO Frances Sheehan co-chaired the centennial with former Coatesville City
Councilman David Collins and James Ziegler, executive director of The National Iron
Steel Heritage Museum. The Coatesville City Council endorsed the effort, which was
made possible with generous contributions from the presenting sponsor, Coatesville
Savings Bank, and other area businesses, and by more than 50 enthusiastic volunteers.
Youth Philanthropy Program Launches
Working with Renée Fairconeture, BHF
program manager, Coatesville Youth
Initiative Summer ServiceCorps interns,
Riya Patel and Dayvon Bladen (above)
spent the past summer laying the
groundwork for the Brandywine Health
Foundation’s new Youth Philanthropy
program.
Funded by Citadel with a five-year,
$100,000 gift to the Campaign for
Coatesville’s Kids, the program will give
12 to 15 Coatesville area students each
year the chance to grant $15,000 to
nonprofits. The students were inspired by
Citadel President Jeff March’s personal
story of growing up in Coatesville and
his belief in the program’s potential to
strengthen teen participants’ individual
talents by addressing the community’s
greatest needs.
Upgrading the Coatesville
Center for Community Health
This past year, the foundation
assisted with and made a $30,000
grant to the Coatesville Center
for Community Health’s capital
campaign to renovate and repair
the building and grounds. Tenants
such as the Domestic Violence
Center and Family Service rely
on the center as their Coatesville
“home.” The co-location of such
agencies as the Maternal and
Child Health Consortium, Planned
Parenthood and WIC increase
access to vitally needed services.
Clients also benefit from immunization
clinics, free health and financial
workshops, and the annual competitive
walking team program, “Coatesville
On the Move.”

7. In Chester County, the chances of an African-
American woman giving birth to a low-weight
baby are 13 percent, double that of Caucasian
or Hispanic women—increasing the child’s risks
for a host of health and developmental problems.
Their babies also have a nearly three-fold-higher
infant mortality rate.
Consider, however, Janae Thompson, 21, whose first
pregnancy was closely monitored by ChesPenn Health Services’
dramatically expanded Prenatal Care Program. In late July, the
2012 Coatesville Area Senior High School graduate gave birth
to her daughter E’laina, who weighed a healthy 7 lbs., 11 oz.
Until Janae’s care was turned over to Chester County
Hospital physicians at her 36th week, Thompson saw Nurse
Practitioner Hayley Davis—who runs ChesPenn’s Prenatal
Program—monthly, then biweekly during her last trimester.
Davis provided critically needed checkups and tests, and
offered advice about what to do and what to expect.
“She and the nurses were very nice,” says Thompson. “She was
also very helpful and seemed to care a lot about me and my
baby.” Davis discussed healthy coffee-drinking limits, for
example, and told Thompson not to be unduly concerned and
to call if she started getting false labor contractions—both of
which Thompson did.
She also got health insurance with assistance from the
Maternal and Child Health Consortium (MCHC). “Our first
goal is to ensure that each mother has health insurance,
because we know a healthy delivery begins with good medical
care,” says Alain Oliver, MCHC executive director. As part of a
three-pronged collaboration, both MCHC and Chester County
Health Department’s Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) also
provide low-income mothers with in-home visits during
their pregnancies and up to the first two years of their
children’s lives.
BHF has been a longtime supporter of ChesPenn, MCHC and
NFP, all of which—along with the foundation—are part of the
county’s Birth Disparities Task Force. Convened by the county
health department, the group was formed to address one of
the Chester County RoadMAPP (Mobilizing Action through
Planning and Partnerships) to Health’s key priorities: reducing
racial birth disparities.
“Our task force’s initial objective is to increase access to
prenatal care, which involves both the hours such care is
available and the proximity to expectant mothers’ homes so
they can receive convenient care for as long as possible before
they are transferred to a hospital OB/GYN practice shortly
before the birth,” says Jeanne Casner, county health director.
Prior to Davis’ May 2014 arrival, ChesPenn doctors in their
Brandywine Center offices were seeing pregnant women just
four hours a week—and only four expectant mothers were
enrolled. After increasing the service to five days a week,
during Davis’ first 12 months 136 women enrolled in her
prenatal care program.
“It was right in town and it was convenient,” says Thompson,
who works as a caregiver to people with disabilities at a
Downingtown group home. “Hayley even worked around my
schedule and my boyfriend’s, who goes to college in Brooklyn.”
“I think we’re having a great impact,” concludes Davis. “More
women are showing up earlier in their pregnancies, so more
are getting the care that they and their babies need at the
appropriate time.” Results like these prove that BHF’s decision
to support ChesPenn and its expanded services was right in
2005 and is still right 10 years later.

8. The Brandywine Health Foundation’s mission is enhanced
by serving as a convener bringing together nonprofits,
government entities, businesses and charitable individuals in
order to create innovative solutions to our pressing community
problems. Generous volunteers are engaged in our efforts
in a variety of ways, including with a few, well-done events
each year—events that bring our diverse community together,
raise needed charitable funds and enhance understanding
of the foundation.
Our annual Strawberry Festival, Garden Party and Festive 5K
Run Walk engage hundreds of dedicated volunteers with whom
we are fortunate to work each year. This past year we also held a
party for many school district alumni to raise the last dollars for
the Campaign for Coatesville’s Kids.
Our volunteers and the thousands of people who came out to enjoy
one or more of our events enabled us this past year to provide
$250,968 in funding for nonprofit organizations and programs
that support a healthy, safe and vibrant Coatesville area.

Kathleen Deets-Price and
The Very Rev. Stephen Price
T
he Very Rev. Stephen Price has served on the
foundation’s board of directors since 2012.
“I believe community health is such an important
path for wholeness and caring,” says the pastor of
Conshohocken’s Calvary Episcopal Church and the dean
of the 14-church Valley Forge deanery.
He is impressed that, rather than operating in a “top-down”
manner, the foundation “engages in the community, and
both seeks and receives participation and feedback” in the
projects it undertakes and supports. He also thinks the
low-income senior housing at the foundation-hatched
Brandywine Center is a groundbreaking model of its kind.
“It’s so perfect and brilliant,” says Price. “The things the
foundation engages in are just so important for the
infrastructure of the caring community in a town like
Coatesville and its environs.”
Kathleen Deets-Price, who grew up in the house where
she and her husband now live outside of Downingtown,
is a graduate of Scott Senior High School (Class of 1967).
She has been a member of the foundation’s Garden Party
Committee since its inception in 2003—and for the past
three years has chaired the critically important event.
Already working on next May’s Garden Party since August,
Mrs. Deets-Price lauds her hardworking committee and
praises the foundation’s high-quality leadership and
well-run board of directors.
“I believe that faith without works is empty, so this is a
wonderful way to engage with the community and try to
do my very small part,” she says. “Having grown up here,
I believe the foundation is striving to help the people of
our community in so many different ways, and I can’t
imagine where we would be without the foundation to
guide us through this time.”
This past year’s Garden Party netted $102,000. “When
people donate their money, it’s a matter of trust,” she
notes, “and everyone’s level of trust with the Brandywine
Health Foundation couldn’t be higher.”

The Volunteer Experience

9. F
red Travaglini’s family has been giving back to
the Coatesville area community ever since his
grandparents founded G.O. Carlson, a steel and
nickel alloy plate manufacturer, in 1936. His mother,
Barbara, has faithfully served as a board director of both
the Brandywine Hospital and the Brandywine Health
Foundation. Travaglini, who is vice president of Carlson’s
properties group, is currently a BHF board member and
co-chair of its Planned Giving Committee.
Through the Gunard Berry Carlson Memorial Foundation—
named for his mother’s late brother—the family has
supported numerous BHF initiatives. These include
establishing an endowed nursing student scholarship and
supporting such programs as the Coatesville Youth Initiative
and the Youth Mental Health First Aid program.
“Our question regarding donations is always, ‘What’s my
return on investment?’” says Travaglini. “We feel quite
strongly about the difference the foundation is making.
For example, the number of kids involved in the CYI’s
Summer YouthCorps is amazing.”
Though I have not lived in Coatesville since 1961, more
than half a century ago, there has never been a time when,
asked from whence I come, I have failed to include it. It is a
place which has, still, a tug on my psyche.
And it seems to me that the Brandywine Health Foundation
is an excellent, well-run, efficient institution that has
made a marked positive impact on the Coatesville
community—which is so important to me. The
foundation is worthy of my interest and is worthy
of my investments of both time and money.

12. In Memoriam
We sadly mourn the passing and honor the memories of three of the
Brandywine Health Foundation’s early leaders, Milton Allen and Jane
and Al Eastburn.
Milton Allen passed away January 19, 2015. He served
on the foundation’s board of directors at its inception in
2002 to 2005. The board of directors took significant risk
when it began building the Brandywine Center in 2007,
yet Milt said, “If it’s the only thing we do in the history of
this foundation, we will have done the right thing.” His
clarity of vision and dedication to the community remain
guideposts for all of us.
Jane Eastburn passed away May 24, 2015. She co-chaired
the foundation’s first Garden Party Committee with
Barbara Travaglini, setting it on such a highly successful
path that, 13 years later this past spring, 450 guests
raised over $100,000 for our community. Jane continued
her tremendous support and remained an active
volunteer, encouraging three generations of her family
to get involved with the Garden Party, including her
daughter-in-law Laurie and granddaughters Chelsea and Lauren. She was
warm, caring and sensitive, but also witty, with an insightful sense of humor.
You always knew you’d end up in a belly laugh after spending time with Jane.
Albert W. Eastburn Jr. passed away August 24, 2015. Al was the foundation’s
board chair from 2004 to 2006, and vice chair from 2007 to 2009. Larger
than life, he impacted so many institutions in our community in ways big
and small. He mentored a whole new generation of community leaders and is
credited with leading the foundation during the building of the Brandywine
Health and Housing Center.
For so many in the Coatesville area, it was an honor to work for and with
Milt, Jane and Al. They are deeply missed by the board, staff and all of us
here at the Brandywine Health Foundation.

Notes to the Statement of Activities: Three categories of income and
expense can impact the foundation’s change in Net Assets from year to year
significantly. Investment income can swing dramatically depending upon
stock market performance. And, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP) standards require the recording of a grant commitment in the year
in which it was made, even if the intent is to cover expenses over several
years. This practice impacts contributions given to the foundation
(Contributions and Grants), as well as grants made to other nonprofits
by the foundation (Program Services). This year, the BHS Transitional
Corporation wound down operations and donated two properties to the
foundation as In-Kind Contributions: the Consignment Shop property,
which will continue to operate to benefit the community, and the Pyle Farm,
which is available for sale.
Notes to the Statement of Financial Position: Loans Receivable
represent funds borrowed by Brandywine Health Housing, LP, due to
the foundation for the development of the Brandywine Center, and a loan
previously due from the BHS Transitional Corporation, which was resolved
with the donation of land appraised at a higher amount (see above). Grants
Payable include commitments to ChesPenn Health Services and the Public
Safety Training Facility Foundation.

The Alene McDermott Memorial Scholarship
Fund was established in loving memory of
a talented acoustic guitar player and
vocalist (photo above) who lost her long
battle with breast and ovarian cancers in
2010. To perpetuate her optimistic spirit and
inspirational musicianship, her family and
friends established the fund to provide
scholarships to graduating high school
students from the Coatesville Area High
School who wish to embark on music or
art careers.
This year’s recipient is 2015 graduate and
multi-instrumentalist Jacob Byrnes. Now
majoring in music technology at the
California Institute of the Arts in Valencia,
Byrnes is using the scholarship funds for
both his education and some “insanely
helpful” high-tech electronics he is now
using to craft original music.
“I’m a huge supporter of women in music,” he
says of Mrs. McDermott, “and I am extremely
honored and humbled that I’ve been given
such a vote of confidence.”
When Ronjae Jones was selected as the fourth
recipient of the foundation’s Harry Lewis Jr.
Scholarship Award, he said that State Rep.
Harry Lewis “has affected my life, as a man,
role model and leader. I don’t just carry
myself; I carry my family and my community
with me wherever I go. I represent Coatesville,
and I do my best to represent it as the good
city that it is.”
Jones, who credits the Coatesville Youth
Initiative for instilling him with self-
confidence and insight, is now a freshman
majoring in cinema and television at
Morehouse College in Atlanta.

14. Pride. Challenge. Opportunity. All are words associated with the
Coatesville community. Our community. The nine municipalities in the Coatesville Area
School District have become our strategic priority because it is here, where our roots
lie, that the greatest need persists and the opportunity to have impact is dramatic.
We’re honored to lead the largest philanthropy dedicated solely to improving health in
a community we’re proud to serve.
In addition to being the principal funder of top quality nonprofits serving this
community, our role at the Brandywine Health Foundation is to advocate for the
Coatesville area so that it remains on the county’s—and in fact, the region’s—radar.
Luckily, we have found willing and able partners in the region’s philanthropic
community, and our county’s business and elected leadership. Their Vista 2025 study
pointed directly to Coatesville as the community where the greatest opportunity
exists to truly move the needle toward complete, equitable economic health for the
entire county.
Our staff, board and volunteers are proud advocates because this is a community
with a proud heritage, tremendous diversity, and deep relationships. We believe that
Coatesville area children deserve to grow up in a safe, vibrant community with every
opportunity for the best health care, quality education and out-of-school youth
development opportunities. We have an obligation and responsibility to shine the
light on problems that exist because openness and transparency are crucial to finding
solutions that will work. You have been our partners in identifying issues that deserve
our attention and we are grateful for your guidance.
So, we’re shining the light on issues like the racial disparity in birth outcomes that
put so many African-American babies at a disadvantage from the very beginning. And
we’re not turning a blind eye to the challenges our school district faces. A collective
community effort led to a new school board and superintendent who are wrestling
with a myriad of issues that must be addressed if our children are to receive the top
quality education taken for granted in more affluent communities. Transformation
will take time, but we appreciate the current emphasis on community partnerships
like our nationally recognized Youth Mental Health First Aid program, and our new
Youth Philanthropy program, so generously supported by Citadel.
As we address problems you’ve said are critical, we also want to assist when there are
opportunities to tell others what’s unique and important about our community, like
its rich history. That’s why we worked closely with Coatesville’s City Council and
others to plan a series of events to recognize the City of Coatesville’s Centennial Year.
So, if you too feel pride of place, if you believe that the Coatesville area has the
potential to become not just proud of its strengths, but of its progress in overcoming
its challenges, then we hope you’ll join us on one of the many exciting projects and
events happening here. Because no progress happens by chance—it happens
because you and people like you care enough to give back with pride. Thank you.
