ABOUT

For the last 5 years, Paoli Presbyterian Church and friends in the community have banded together to raise money and awareness for some incredible mission partners through a 5K and Family Fun Day. We’ve supported Syrian Refugee Relief through World Vision and come alongside CityTeam in Chester to provide emergency relief for those hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

This year, we’re spicing it up by offering two incredible opportunities to come together, for fun and community, and for an amazing and worthy cause.

 

Cornerstone Christian Academy is a private independent school that has served Southwest Philadelphia since 1988. It offers a full academic program for Kindergarten through 8th grade in hopes of educating the children of Southwest Philadelphia, including those from at-risk neighborhoods, in an environment that provides the highest standards for academic achievement and spiritual development.

 

We’re thrilled to be hosting our first ever Back-to-School Block Party on Saturday, September 25 from 4:30-7:00. There will be live music, free activities for the kids, Food Trucks and more – all with opportunities to learn about and support the work of Cornerstone.

 

And we can’t forget the 5K Run/Walk! We’re going virtual again this year! People all around the country and world can participate. Invite your friends, family, co-workers, Facebook/Instagram friends, college roommates, and anyone who wants to have fun and help more and more kids in need receive an education that could change the course of their lives forever.
