40th Anniversary Celebration,

About the event

Some say that this is cause for celebration.

We say it’s AWESOME – and we invite you to be a part of this incredible milestone!

On Sunday, October 9, at the Crystal Tea Room in Philadelphia, we will be celebrating the 40^th Anniversary of our Grassroots organization and the more than 27,000 families caring for children with very serious illnesses, disabilities and injuries who we have been honored to assist with one or more of our programs. Their needs, not covered by insurance, were made known to us by a wide network of healthcare professionals (social workers, case managers, visiting nurses, doctors, etc.) at hospitals and medical facilities throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. 

We would like to offer you the opportunity to share in our celebration and showcase your business while taking a personal part in supporting our mission and the families we serve through any one of the enclosed available sponsorships for our 40^th Anniversary Gala!  The various levels of sponsorships can provide advertising on our website, Facebook and Twitter announcements, Gala Program Book, and inclusion in press releases.

We expect to celebrate with over 300 participants at this Black Tie event that will be entertained by the Jump City Jazz orchestra, dancing, a fun auction and more.

Our much needed mission provides financial assistance for needs not covered by insurance, Family Fun Days, holiday assistance, financial management education and non-cash items to families living in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.  We advocate for and provide information and resources for families nationwide.  Respect for the pride, dignity and privacy of the families we serve is at the heart of our mission.  Families whose lives have been upended because of the serious or terminal diagnosis of one or more children appreciate that requests for help are answered with sensitivity and compassion.  We anticipate assisting more than 1,700 families in crisis this year alone.

Thousands of individuals have made our work possible through their time, talents and financial support.  We are grateful to them and to you for your thoughtful consideration of this invitation.

Our Mission Statement:

The Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund lightens the burdens and lifts the spirits of families caring for children with serious illnesses, disabilities, and injuries, while respecting the pride and dignity of families in need. We provide financial assistance for needs not covered by insurance, respite programs, non-cash items, and financial management education to families living or seeking treatment in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. We advocate for and provide education and information on other resources and education to families nationwide.
