What a night to remember! On Friday, October 9, the Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund brought friends and supporters together at Lilah in Philadelphia’s Northern Liberties neighborhood for Foodies & Philanthropy, a gala celebrating 50 years of helping families caring for children with serious illnesses.
The evening celebrated the Fund’s legacy, reflected on the families at the heart of its mission, and thanked the community that made five decades of help and hope possible.
Guests enjoyed an exceptional culinary experience from CookNSolo. Drinks, live music from Former Strangers, and wonderful company created a lively setting for an evening filled with connection and gratitude.
At the heart of the celebration was a shared commitment to families navigating some of life’s most difficult circumstances. Stories of families touched by the Fund’s work brought meaning to the milestone, reminding us that behind every year of service are children, parents, and caregivers who have needed support along the way.
For 50 years, the Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund has helped families caring for children with serious illnesses find help and hope during uncertain times. This anniversary honored that enduring purpose and the generosity that continues to sustain it.
