Dignity Housing Gala 2019: Because Play Matters

Celebrating Dignity Housing’s Playground Project, Beverly’s Playground Sponsored by Fox & Roach/Trident Charities

On Saturday, March 30, 2019, Dignity Housing hosted our “Because Play Matters” Gala at the Hilton Penn’s Landing, in celebration of our playground project and our children’s well-being Because Play Matters. Guests enjoyed the silent auction, dinner, dancing, and a beautiful view of the Philadelphia waterfront.

We are excited to finally make Beverly’s dream of building a playground for the Dignity children a reality. The playground will be a safe and fun place for the children to play, steps away from their front door, in Dignity’s gated housing complex for families that have experienced domestic violence. At the Gala, we were honored to present this year's "Champion of Dignity" award to Fox & Roach/Trident Charities. The playground would not be possible without Barbara Greist, along with Fox & Roach/Trident Charities Board of Trustees and President Kassie Erb, who partnered with Dignity Housing to spearhead the playground project. They were the first and the most generous supporters of the playground, truly understanding that PLAY MATTERS.

We also want to thank our other event sponsors, individual donors, and all the attendees. Thank you for supporting Dignity Housing and believing in our mission. Together, we will break the cycle of homelessness in Philadelphia.
