SUPPORT THE CENTER ON THE HILL – Fall 2026 Appeal
Dear Friends,
The Center on the Hill is thrilled to be starting its 17th year serving our community of active adults!
Here is some of what people are saying about us: “The programs you offer are just the best.”-MC “Thank you for all you do to keep me active.”- DD “I had a great time and always appreciate the things you do to make the Center on the Hill one of my favorite places.”- MG
The Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill continues to support my endeavors to offer engaging programs and reach more people, but I cannot do it without support from friends like you!
This season I am asking you to help make it possible for us to continue offering our excellent programming at little or no cost to our participants. If you have enjoyed The Center on the Hill as a place for community engagement and continued learning, would you please consider supporting us by donating to our 2026 Appeal? Your contribution will help us to fulfill our vision of offering quality programming to all those who are just discovering the center, as well as those who continue to attend our activities at “…the place for active adults.”
Any amount you can give today will help with some of the ever-increasing programming costs and ensure we can continue to offer the excellent activities you have come to expect. $20 would help us offer Cooking Classes and Lectures at a minimal rate. $50 would enable us to have Art activities, Luncheons at an affordable price. $100 makes it possible to schedule Special Events and Bus Trips to destinations of interest around the region without having to pass the full cost down to those attending!
To donate by Credit Card please follow the secure PayPal link below.
