Bring Philly HOME 2025 Exceeds Expectations
A Record-Breaking Night of Hope, Compassion, and Momentum.
More than 500 advocates, leaders, and friends came together at the Fitler Club on June 4 for the 15th celebration of Bring Philly HOME, presented by Penn Medicine, and hosted by the Rising Leaders Committee—and what a night it was.
Thanks to the generosity and collective spirit of the entire Project HOME community, we raised over $600,000—making this the most successful Bring Philly HOME yet! Each gift helps us take another step toward ending chronic street homelessness in Philadelphia, and we are walking that path together.
The highlight of the whole evening was the presentation of the SPARK (Service, Partnership, and Radical Kindness) Award to the incomparable Leigh Middleton. Surrounded by friends, supporters, and longtime partners, Leigh’s words were a beautiful reflection of the values at the heart of Project HOME’s Beloved Community— compassion, collaboration, and courage. Her leadership continues to light the way for all of us working to build a more just and inclusive Philadelphia.
Another unforgettable moment came with a surprise announcement from the 1830 Family Foundation: a generous $25,000 matching gift, inspiring a wave of energy and doubling the impact of contributions made in real-time.
This was more than a celebration.
It was a testament to what’s possible when we come together—not just for a single night, but for a shared future where everyone in our city has a place to call HOME.
Thank you for being part of this mission and for helping us take another bold step forward.
We are bringing Philly HOME—together.
