SCH parent social & fundraiser to benefit the commons
hosted by the Parents association
The Parents Association Fundraiser is an annual event that brings together adult members of the SCH community to socialize and raise essential funds for the school. This year’s event, For the Love of PHILAnthropy, will support the Campaign for the Commons.
Join us for an exciting evening of Philadelphia-themed fun (look out for the pop-up Reading Terminal and Free Library!) including our city's favorite yum & sip jawns, live jazz music, Sixers/Phillies/Eagles-themed games, an incredible silent auction, and robust raffle (see below). It promises to be a lively, community-engaged evening. We look forward to celebrating in and around the Willow Grove Commons. “Festive casual” attire is recommended—feel free to show your Philly pride!
See the options below to purchase event tickets and patron packages, enter to win raffle basket(s), preview the silent auction items, and learn more about how you can support the Campaign for the Commons. We look forward to celebrating our wonderful SCH community with you soon!
Community partners, Philanthropy + Phun!

Horizons students will enjoy these books during their 6-week enrichment session at SCH and then will be able to take a few books home at the end of the summer. Your donation will help build local students’ literacy skills.

The heart of our Upper School campus!
Proceeds from For the Love of PHILAnthropy will support the development of the SCH Commons. The Commons is the central hub on campus where our Upper School students dine, study, socialize, train, and compete. The building is home to our Upper School dining hall, Kingsley Gym, Woodward Gym, McCausland Squash Courts, training rooms, fitness center, and locker rooms as well as our students’ favorite social areas. This crucial space needs renovations to accommodate our growing student body and offer upgraded facilities. The plan includes expanding the dining and social areas, creating a state-of-the-art fitness and wellness center, upgrading the training and team rooms, and redesigning the outdoor social spaces. The impact this campaign will have on the SCH community, including the health and wellness of our students and our ability to compete athletically, will be profound.
Please consider becoming a For the Love of PHILAnthropy Patron to support this next phase of our 62-acre campus improvements and help enhance all facets of the student experience.
