Smiling faces filled up Pass and Stow restaurant at Citizens Bank Park for a long awaited celebration of four Philadelphia-area non-profits. It was a celebratory event for the beneficiaries of the Philadelphia Insurance Runs for Charities program, a partnership where PHLY donates $50 for every Philadelphia Phillies run scored throughout the season. The Phillies had 734 total runs scored which resulted in a donation of $36,700 raised for four deserving loyal PHLY customers.

It was time well spent honoring and learning about each non-profit's mission and hearing from the leaders of their organization as they shared a few words and accepted their donation. We thank the Phillies for knocking in all those runs and working with us during these uncertain times. Also a big thanks for our friends at The Graham Company, Johnson, Kendall & Johnson, Rue Insurance and Arthur J Gallagher for their valued partnership. And congratulations to our four Charities being recognized.
