PathWays PA Celebrates its 31st Anniversary Next Week!

By MB -
For the past 31 years, PathWays PA has offered residential programs and social services to vulnerable women and their children. Now, more than ever, the economic climate and rising unemployment rate emphasize the need for agencies like PathWays PA. We could never do the work we do and lend support to our 6,000 low-income clients without daily generosity from our corporate and individual donors. This year, at our PathWays to the Stars 31st Anniversary Celebration, we’d like to pay tribute to those who assist us as we strive to help those in need.

The event, presented by Endo Pharmaceuticals, will take place on Thursday, October 29, from 6:30-9PM at the Valley Forge Radisson, located at 1160 First Ave. in King of Prussia. United States Senators Arlen Specter and Robert Casey, Jr. will co-chair this exciting evening of commemoration and fun!

We’re quickly garnering support for our 31st Celebration. To date, major sponsors include: DNB First Bank; Michael & Jennifer Hrischuk; Kimberly-Clark Corporation; Amy Mathis; Patty Miller & Bill Schultz; Elizabeth Moran; David Park; Sherman & Zoe Perkins; QVC, Inc.; Carol Smith; Trinity Thrift Shop; Richard Whittington & Jane Coleman; and Michael & Sarah Yow.

Always a popular feature of our annual event, our silent auction is back and better than ever! Lincoln Financial has promised a corporate box at Citizens Bank Park for an April game during the 2010 Phillies season. This will certainly be a highly sought after item. We also have dining gift certificates from places such as: Creed’s Seafood & Steaks; D'Ignazio's Towne House; Giampino's and Stephen’s on State Street. Guests will be able to bid on theatre tickets from the likes of: the Delaware Theatre Company; Lantern Theatre Company; Philadelphia Theatre Company and the Roundabout Theatre Company in New York City. We have many more items up for auction, including original artwork from local artists, autographed memorabilia from the Philadelphia Eagles, a golf outing at the Waynesborough Country Club and free admission to various museums, wineries and gardens.

Tickets for the PathWays to the Stars 31st Anniversary Celebration are $50. You may also purchase a tribute page for $250 which provides you with a full page in the program guide and two tickets to the event by calling Pam Przybylski at 610-543-5022, x234.

Federal Policy Updates  CONGRESS IN AGREEMENT TO WORK ON A 6-MONTH CONTINUING RESOLUTION Last week House and Senate leaders announced that a deal has been reached to pass a 6-month continuing resolution to fund the federal government through next spring. Details of the agreement have not yet been made public, but the continuing resolution will reportedly fund federal agencies at current spending levels. With both chambers of Congress on summer recess, a vote on the agreement will likely be held in September, before the end of the fiscal year. If this agreement is enacted it will ensure that the government will not be shutdown at the end of September when the current spending plan ends.

Census data tells us that 13% of Pennsylvania households live in poverty. In reality, even more households don’t have the income they need to reach self-sufficiency. One in four Pennsylvania households – over 846,000 – lack enough income to cover just the necessities. Since 1997, PathWays PA has worked with Dr. Diana Pearce and the University of Washington to calculate  The Self-Sufficiency Standard for Pennsylvania . Over the last 23 years,  The Self-Sufficiency Standard of Pennsylvania  has documented the continuing increase in the real cost of living, illuminating the economic crunch experienced by so many families today. Since 2010, PathWays PA and the University of Washington have also issued three versions of the  Overlooked and Undercounted  report, which looks at the number of households living above and below self-sufficiency. You can now use the interactive materials below to find out what it takes to be self-sufficient in your county. Click here  to read the 2020 O
