✨ A Remarkable Gift Inspired
by Our Story ✨

We are thrilled to share some incredible news with our ABC Strath Haven community.

In the days following our 50th Anniversary Gala — and the heartfelt story published in The Swarthmorean — an anonymous donor reached out to one of our Gala Committee members, moved by the powerful testimonies of our alumni.

Their response?
A generous donation in support of ABC Strath Haven’s future.

This extraordinary gift reflects the lasting impact of our mission, the strength of our alumni, and the unwavering belief in what ABC Strath Haven makes possible.

To everyone who has already given — and to every volunteer who shows up with heart, time, and dedication — THANK YOU. You are the backbone of this program.

On behalf of our entire organization, we extend our profound gratitude. Your support fuels our ability to build an even stronger, brighter future for generations to come.

If you would like to make a donation, or fulfill the pledge you made at the 50th Anniversary Gala, you can do so here:

This is what community looks like.

When we come together — to give, to share, to uplift — we create real, lasting impact.

Together, we are shaping futures, building opportunity, and ensuring every scholar has the support they need to thrive.

Here’s to hope. Here’s to action.
Here’s to a community united for good. 💙

Attention: Local road closures impacting the Media/Nether Providence area the morning of Sunday 9/28 for the Delco 10 mile race.

The inaugural Delco 10 Miler — a 10-mile road race designed to showcase Delco's neighborhoods,
parks, and pride, is happening Sunday, 9/28/2025! Runners hit the road at 8:00am. Branded "Park to Pitch," the course begins at Rose Tree Park and ends at Subaru Park, bringing seasoned runners together for one of the region's most scenic new courses, while raising money for Delco Arts, Delaware County Parks & Recreation, and the HEADstrong Foundation.

The Delco 10 Miler promises to become one of the area's premier running events, delivering both community impact and excitement to Delaware County. The inaugural Delco 10 Miler sold out quickly — all 1,200 bibs have been claimed, with runners coming from across Delco and as far away as Florida and California. Local groups and Delco neighbors will be joining in as volunteers along the entire route!

To keep runners and spectators safe, road closures will begin at 7:30 a.m., and delays are expected along the course until the route fully reopens around 10:30 a.m. Please plan ahead if you live, work, or travel in these areas.
