Sharing Gratitude to All Who Contributed to Success of PCH’s Recent Fundraising Event
To the Editor:
On behalf of the boards of trustees, staff, and residents of Princeton Community Housing (PCH), we wish to express our gratitude to those who helped to make our September 27 fundraising event, “Community Roots, Opportunity Blossoms,” at Morven Museum & Garden a wonderful success. We had grand time, thanks to the efforts of our volunteers and staff, and our generous donors throughout the community. Together, we raised more than $119,000 to support PCH’s mission and what we call the “PCH Difference,” our commitment to providing not only homes but supportive services that result in stronger, healthier outcomes for our residents and communities.
Just as a well-tended garden nurtures seeds and helps them take root, a richly diverse and inclusive community creates opportunities for growth and success in life, benefiting everyone. Affordable homes ensure that our town is a place where people from all backgrounds can put down roots, contribute to its vibrancy, enhance its “ecosystem,” and grow and blossom by accessing and adding to our abundant resources.
We are especially grateful to Penn Medicine, our presenting sponsor, and our Honorary Chair and PCH Development Corporation President Trustee James Demetriades.
Together we raised essential funding and highlighted PCH’s essential role in Princeton. PCH provides nearly 500 affordable, welcoming rental homes to approximately 1,100 people — or 3.5 percent of Princeton’s population. Our residents are employed by local businesses, nonprofits, and institutions; they are our neighbors and friends, they share and contribute to Princeton’s abundant resources, and they enrich our community. PCH helps ensure that Princeton is a vibrant, inclusive community that is home to people of all income levels — making our community better for everyone.
Our thanks again to many supporters who believe in the vision and mission of Princeton Community Housing, and for being a part of this memorable occasion!
