Happy April Fool’s edition. Sorry to everyone who was out of town on spring break and missed Swarthmore’s celebrity sighting. And apologies to Matt Damon, we ran out of time to write a real story about you. Thanks for playing along with us this week.

✨ 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:

Want to volunteer? We need hearts, skills, and time too. Sign up 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. 💙
