THE CENTENNIAL
CAMPAIGN FOR
Throughout the history of the Junior
League of Philadelphia, our members have
committed passion, expertise, and hard
work to serving the Greater Philadelphia
community.
Now in our second century, we have a
strategic plan to elevate our service to
the community, meet more needs of our
members, and strengthen our reputation as
one of the premier volunteer organizations in
the area.
This is a critical moment. With investment
from each of us, we can elevate our impact
to unprecedented levels.

It’s important to support with
money what you believe in with
your values, and the League has
values I believe in—firmly.
Sally Hillyer
President, 1970-1972
Working in the community has to
be backed up. To have a building
like this and not use it is a very
sad situation, because we need
it—desperately.

I made a gift because the League
encourages my leadership
development goals while
enabling me to contribute to my
community. I wanted to help
launch Apple a Day and improve
our membership’s home.

2. Focusing the League’s
Community Impact
A stunning 25 percent of Philadelphia residents, double the national rate, are at
risk for hunger. Even more people—39 percent of Philadelphia’s children—live
in poverty, with their basic nutritional needs unmet. To fight this epidemic, the
League launched our Apple a Day Healthy Living Initiative™ in 2012. The goals of
Apple a Day programming are to FEED our community:
Creating a Home for
Our Membership
Having purchased our first permanent Headquarters in 2003, we are now poised
to undertake significant renovations in order to transform it into the professional
environment that will support our volunteers’ work in the community.
The second floor will be renovated to create:
• two Committee Meeting Rooms
• a Community Room that can be divided for use by smaller groups
• a fully-functional Kitchen to support events and meetings
• a Members’ Lounge for interest group gatherings and informal meetings
The third floor will be remodeled to establish:
• a Board Room for the League’s leadership groups
• an Administrative Suite of four professional work spaces for employees and
League leaders
To ensure sustainability and protect our investment, a portion of funds raised will
establish a maintenance endowment, income from which will be used to defray
expenses of owning, operating, and caring for our Headquarters.

What size gift should I make?
Each member’s participation in this historic campaign is what matters most. Please
give an amount that reflects your personal circumstance and honors the importance
of the League in your life.
Anonymous 2:1 Challenge Match
A generous League member who wishes to remain anonymous has issued a
challenge. She will match, 2:1, all new or increased gifts made between now and
May 31, 2014, up to $150,000! In the words of our challenger, “Every one of us has
gained something from League membership and has a stake in our future; every one
of us should give!”
How is this campaign different from the Annual Fund?
Annual Fund gifts are sought on a yearly basis from each League member to help
sustain our day-to-day activities, both internal and external. They are critical to a
balanced budget. Capital campaign contributions are being sought from the general
membership this year only and will be used to support Apple a Day programming and
Headquarters renovations.
I want to support the League!
