$1.7 Million Donated to Doylestown Health in Response to Della Penna Challenge Match

By Doylestown Health Foundation | Press Releases | 0 comment | 2 January, 2021 | 0

DOYLESTOWN, PA – 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.

Thanks to the Della Penna’s call to action, as well as the generous response to Doylestown Health’s year-end fundraising efforts, over $700,000 was donated. All gifts to the Della Penna Challenge Match support the One Vision campaign, which includes transformative renovations and investments in technology, equipment, expansion, and programming that will advance healthcare excellence at Doylestown Health.

In addition to the incredible outpouring of community support, a new commitment of $1 million was made directly to the One Vision Campaign, bringing the month-long total to $1.7 million.

“The partnership and support of the Della Penna family is a source of great pride for us,” says Laura Wortman, Vice President and Chief Development Officer, Doylestown Health. “We are so grateful for their support, and that of our entire community. Together they demonstrate what makes Doylestown Health unique. The inspiring community response to the Della Penna Challenge Match, our year-end fundraising efforts, and the One Vision Campaign is consistent with the extraordinary things we have seen throughout this year, and we are truly humbled by the generosity we have received.”
