‘The sky is the limit’: Delco Gives to return for year 3

The inaugural Delco Gives raised more than $1.7 million for participating nonprofits. The second annual fundraising drive eclipsed $2.2 million.

“We’re all hopeful that we’ll continue to go higher and higher because really the sky is the limit in terms of how many people can be engaged beyond who have been engaged before to participate in philanthropy for Delaware County nonprofits,” Kellerman said.

Delco Gives usually coincides with a wave of community events and festivities, including Dining Under the Stars in Media. Kellerman said the culminating party is moving indoors this year due to previous weather conditions.

“The location we’re moving it to will be I think very exciting for the community. We are not ready to announce that so be looking for that announcement in the next couple of weeks,” Kellerman said.

Bonus dollars and cash prizes will be awarded to participating nonprofits during Delco Gives.
