Fox & Roach Charities 2016 

Every year the local Fox & Roach Charity office decides which local charities to support, and again this year T&E Care was selected as one of their recipients.  We’ve been a recipient of this grant for a number of years, and we VERY much appreciate this recognition.

Santa Came!

T&E Care volunteers joined the Paoli Business and Professional Association and the Paoli Hardware Center to welcome Santa to Paoli on December 3, 2016. He was escorted to town by the Paoli Fire Company!  All in attendance enjoyed entertainment, refreshments, and lots of fun.  All donations benefitted T&E Care. Thanks to the PBPA for this wonderful support!

The Annual Alternative Gift Market – a success!  

Thanks again to the Baptist Church in the Great Valley and the United Church of Christ for co-hosting the 5^th annual Alternative Gift Market on November 12 and 13, 2016. This was a great opportunity to find some unique and fun holiday gifts for family and friends and do “holiday shopping that helps others”.  Once all tabulated, proceeds from the event will be donated T&E Care.   We VERY much appreciate this support!

Turkey Burn for T&E Care – a huge success!

The 4th annual Mojo Annual Turkey Burn, held on November 26, 2016, was another huge success! The gym at DVFS was packed with folks who enjoyed an hour of fun and dance with Cindy Brauer leading the way.   It was a wonderful way to remove those extra pounds from Thanksgiving and support T&E Care at the same time.  $740 was raised with this fun fundraiser! Thanks to all who participated and to Mojo for helping out with this fun event!  (Check out Mojo Fitness for other classes all year long.)

Annual Tyler Hedges 5K Run/Walk

The Shandtract Civic Association recently donated a portion of the proceeds from their Tyler Hedges Day event held earlier in October 2016.  This event is held in memory of a young neighbor who lost his battle with leukemia, for the purpose of bringing the neighborhood together and raising money for local charities in his name. The funds received from this amazing event are used to support our camp assistance program. Last year over 80 local kids went to camp, in part with the assistance of this program – so they are really touching a lot of lives!  THANKS!

TD Bank – Bring Change
And Help Local College Students – What a huge success!

On Aug 7, 2015, the Devon branch of TD Bank ran a one-day fundraiser to help us cover the costs of the books for a number of the students we support.  Everyone was encouraged to gather up all lose change and take it to the branch and have it counted at the Penny Arcade.  TD Bank matched up to $2000 all the change it counts that day.  (There was a little confusion about this aspect of the program – but all change counts WERE counted, whether you donated or not – we did confirm this!)  We are excited to say that, in any case, over $2000 was counted – so we got the full amount from TD Bank – PLUS a number of folks just let T&E Care keep the change.  That total is not in yet – but we should have well over $1500 in additional donations.  That’s a LOT of loose change!  Think how much lighter our purses and pockets will be – our back doctors will be happy with this fund raiser!   

3rd Annual Berwyn Devon Wellness Festival – Another Great Success

May 17, 2015 was a great day in Berwyn!  The Wellness Festival drew over a thousand folks with lots of great kids games and activities. Starting at the corner of Old Lancaster Rd. and Rt. 30 in Berwyn (across from Handel’s Ice Cream) and up Old Lancaster to the Bagel Factory you could see the excitement with rock climbing, Zumba, hula hoops, a scavenger hunt, a moon bounce and lots of other fun and healthy activities and of course, great food!  Thanks to Jump Dautrich, Laura Bartholomew, and Kirk Gorman for taking the time to man the booth for T&E Care!  We hope you stopped by.

THANKS for the great soup lessons!

On Sunday, February 9, 2014, Art Roman of The Kitchen Workshop (Paoli) ran a Soup Cooking Class for a group of community members participants, with 100% of the proceeds going to T&E Care.  Art donated the food and his time!  What a great community partner he’s been over the years.  If you ever want to take cooking classes – check out his place!

Recipes he cooked included:  Thai Shrimp Soup (with Lemon and Jalapenos), Tuscan Ribollita (a hearty stick-to-your-ribs vegetable soup), Beef Barley Soup (with mushrooms), and Art’s Bavarian Split Pea and Ham Soup (with Gruyere and rye crutons).

One participant sent this note after the event:  A couple of my friends joined me yesterday at the Kitchen Workshop fundraiser and I just had to say “thank you” for passing that email along.  We had such a good time. I hate cooking but yet had a great time with the ladies that were there and with Art.  He’s great and of course his sense of humor made cooking so much more enjoyable.  I would do that again in a  heartbeat and would recommend a class to anyone – especially those like me.

Both T&E Care and FLITE work with students and families in the district, coordinating much of this through the school district.   Many thanks to the great staff of the  TESD for their efforts in planning this special event.  Despite the dark cloud and drizzle on the day of the event, much fun was had by all who participated.  And $3500 was raised by the participants for EACH of the two groups!  What a HUGE help that will be for both FLITE and T&E Care.

FREE SOUP ‘N STUFF FOR LUNCH
SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 2009
THE EVENT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS!

Many thanks to those who came out and learned to cook broccoli/potato/cheese soup under the capable direction of Art Roman (The Kitchen Workshop in Paoli), and then got to eat the soup in the delicious bread bowls donated by Panera Bread in Gateway Shopping Center.  Lots of food was also collected for the local  food pantry as well.  The highlight of the event was the presentation to T&E Care of a check from Panera Bread for $2539.54!  This donation from Panera came from the collection boxes at the check-out stations at the Gateway Panera Bread, with collections being gathered since their opening in April, 2008.  Panera also matched the donations with an additonal 25¢ for each $1 donated.   MANY thanks to Panera for the bread bowls and this donation, to Art Roman for donating the supplies and his kitchen for the soup, and to all those who came to make the event a success!

Dance Fundraiser at Tredyffrin Library

In the summer of 2012, Matt Holzer, a CHS student, decided to make a difference by raising money for T&E Care.  He likes to do DJ work on the side, so he organized a dance to be held at the Tredyffrin Library, invited a ton of friends, and the rest is history!  What an amazing young man to be able to pull something like this off.  Thanks Matt!

SHOP IN PAOLI DAY – SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 2008

On Saturday, April 12 the TE North MOMS Club hosted a “Shop in Paoli Day” to raise funds for T&E Care. TE North MOMS Club is a group of local moms who offer support for each other, and do helpful activities in the community. For more info about this group go to http://www.momsclub.org/.

For their Spring 2008 activity they offered to help T&E Care! The idea was that when you shopped at specific stores in Paoli on that day either a percentage of the sales went to T&E Care, or T&E Care received gift cards (to give to families in need) directly from the stores. Participating stores included The Blue Tulip, Polka Dots, Chico’s, Julie’s Gold Ribbon, Terra Culture, Van Cleve Collection, Robinson’s Luggage, Paoli Hardware, Talbots, Paoli Nails, and Gentlemen’s Choice. MANY thanks to all those participating businesses, and very special thanks to the community members who went shopping on this day – over $700 was raised!!!!! Wow! LOCAL families will really benefit by your generous help.

PANERA BREAD FUNDRAISER – April 5, 2008

What a fantastic time had by all those who were able to attend the Panera Bread practice opening on April 5. 2008. Over 200 community members were in attendance. The folks at Panera Bread outdid themselves – the free food just kept coming and coming! The staff clearly got well-trained for their official opening this week. Please stop by and show your appreciation to the Panera Bread staff for giving us such a fun opportunity to thank the community for your continued support. We did take up a collection at the dinner so we could send some money to some of the families whose homes were destroyed last week in the big apartment fire in Malvern. Over $1200 was raised in just 1 1/2 hours. You guys are terrific!!!

One final note – remember that Panera Bread will have donation boxes for T&E Care on their counters ALL YEAR LONG. And they will match any donations that come in with 25¢ for each $1.00 donated. Remind your friends about this easy way to increase your donation!

Allstate Grant 2007

Thanks to the local Chesterbrook Allstate agency for sponsoring T&E Care with a generous grant!  This type of assistance is especially appreciated as we seek to build some cushion in our funding sources.
