The Brandywine Health Foundation Mission

The Brandywine Health Foundation formed in 2001 as a public charity, headquartered in the City of Coatesville in beautiful Chester County, Pennsylvania. In just ten years the foundation has made over $10 million in grants, contributions and scholarships – all targeted to the toughest health problems in the greater Coatesville area.

The focus of these grants has been primarily on strengthening the safety net of healthcare providers in the area serving those with little or no health insurance by bringing a health center to Coatesville, helping a dental center get started, and partnering with the local school district to bring behavioral health services to the community.

In addition to direct grants, the foundation secured over $13 million in financing and donations to build the Brandywine Center, a health and housing center in the heart of Coatesville. Building on these successes, the foundation launched the Coatesville Youth Initiative two years to address the broader health needs of young people.

On behalf of the Brandywine Health Foundation, our Board of Directors and the 2013 Festival Committee, we extend a very special thank you to PECO for returning as the presenting sponsor and to First Niagara for continuing your generous support of the 2013 Strawberry Festival. We also want to thank Brandywine Hospital for once again hosting this very special community event. Your continued contributions to this event are overwhelming!

The Brandywine Health Foundation, our Board of Directors and the Strawberry Festival Committee, wishes to extend deepest gratitude to our 2012 sponsors, entertainers, vendors and the thousands of you who attended the festival last spring, for your generous support of the 40th Anniversary Strawberry Festival. Your support was critical and together we produced a hugely successful Strawberry Festival with net proceeds in excess of $100,000. We look forward to your continued support of the 2013 Strawberry Festival this spring.
