JOIN US for The Celebration of Delaware County Philanthropy!

DCCF will hold its 2008 Celebration of Delaware County Philanthropy on Wednesday, November 19, 5:00-7:00 PM, at the Springfield County Club. The evening will celebrate the progress of the Foundation over the past year and will recognize those who have demonstrated exemplary leadership in philanthropy for Delaware County.
