THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR 2024 BENEFIT SPONSORS AND ATTENDEES!
DEAR FRIENDS,
“Time flies” as the Tempus Fugit hourglass reminds us when we enter the gates of The Woodlands. We are excited to celebrate another transformative year at the Annual Benefit on Thursday, June 13. You are invited to one of Philadelphia’s most active, significant, and well-loved places, where you will explore the Hamilton Mansion, historic cemetery grounds—and even a mausoleum—while enjoying hors d'oeuvres, desserts, and drinks in support of The Woodlands.
The Annual Benefit will feature communal tables and chairs among the summer blooms and in front of the Mansion. Guests will enjoy food from chefs and restaurants from across the city, an in-person silent auction, and the opportunity to fund critical needs at the cemetery.
We hope you’ll consider becoming a 2024 Benefit Sponsor in support of The Woodlands. By sponsoring the Annual Benefit, you will receive recognition for your contribution both at the event and through publicity, and have the opportunity to connect with friends, new acquaintances, and colleagues. Most importantly, your Sponsorship will ensure The Woodlands continues to serve as one of Philadelphia’s most important green spaces.
Become a Benefit Sponsor by making a secure donation online or mail us a check using this downloadable form.
Your sponsorship makes the mission of The Woodlands possible and ensures these 54 acres can continue to serve the Philadelphia community. Thank you for your support. We look forward to celebrating with you on June 13th while surrounded by the most exceptional confluence of architecture, monuments, and trees in Philadelphia.
With gratitude,
Heather Calvert,
Board President
Jessica Baumert, Executive Director
