All of us at the Fund are thrilled to announce our newest initiative: the Young Friends of the Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund. Young Friends events will reach out to donors aged 25 to 40, increasing awareness of the Fund's mission to assist families of seriously ill, injured, or disabled children.
The Young Friends' first event, a Black Tie Masquerade Ball at Stotesbury Mansion, held on November 2, was a huge success! More than 200 people joined us to eat, drink, dance, have fun, and support children and families in need.

The Young Friends Story
After spending time at the Dolan Fund working on projects such as the Holiday Program and Wine in Winter—and seeing just how the Fund helps families in need—one volunteer, Christine Bugg, saw that there was a huge opportunity to grow the Fund by reaching out to younger donors. Christine conceived the idea of reaching out to donors in their 20s and 30s through a new initiative: the Young Friends of the Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund. The Young Friends endeavors to attract new young donors by increasing awareness of the Fund's mission, stressing the Fund’s work in the Philadelphia area. Young Friends events will be concentrated in Center City Philadelphia. The excitement and buzz have begun to spread in the city, and all of us at KADMF are excited to have some fresh faces on board.
