A generous donation from Carol and Lou Della Penna to Doylestown Health on December 1, 2020, launched a challenge match campaign that has ended with nearly $1.7 million in new gifts and pledges to the health system. The total was collectively donated in response to the challenge match, as part of Doylestown Health Foundation’s year-end fundraising efforts, and in support of ONE VISION: The Campaign for Doylestown Health.
The Della Penna Challenge Match was issued by Lou Della Penna, visionary donor and committee member of ONE VISION: The Campaign for Doylestown Health, and his family on December 1 in honor of Giving Tuesday, an international celebration of philanthropy. The Della Penna family agreed to match up to $250,000 for any new cash gifts made to the health system before December 31, 2020.
