Closing the Gap Campaign
Updated on May 23, 2007

Only rarely does a charitable cause come along that promises to dramatically improve the way healthcare is provided to those most vulnerable in our community. In the Coatesville region, that transformative project is the Brandywine Health & Housing Center. As the Brandywine Health Foundation celebrates its fifth anniversary, we turn to you to help close the gap to make the Center a reality by the end of 2007.

Since the foundation’s inception, its leadership has focused on providing both primary care and preventive dental care to the uninsured and underserved in the Coatesville region. In its first year of operation, ChesPenn Health Services, Inc. and Community Dental, provided services to more than 2,000 local residents. Both organizations have only just begun to serve our community. To secure their future, we are building them a permanent home: the Brandywine Health & Housing Center. We need your help now to make that happen.

The new Brandywine Health & Housing Center will bring together several vital health and social services as well as provide low-income senior housing. In addition to ChesPenn Health Services, Inc. and Community Dental, it will house the Child Guidance Resource Center and Human Services, Inc.

The good news is that over $12.8 million has been raised to date to build the Center; bringing various levels of government funding as well as private resources into Coatesville, important dollars that otherwise would not have come into the community. We still need to raise just over $230,000 to close the financing gap.

Please consider a special donation to the Brandywine Health & Housing Center. Your gift now to Brandywine Health Foundation’s Closing the Gap Campaign will have an even greater impact because of the commitment of a generous foundation board member Bill Kay and his wife, Brit. The Kays have made an extraordinary pledge of $500,000 to challenge our supporters to stretch to make a meaningful gift to this important campaign. Gifts at all levels will make a difference. Join the many other donors who will be listed on the wall in the lobby of the new Brandywine Health & Housing Center.

Your gift has never been more important! Your generous support of the Closing the Gap Campaign will ensure that the Brandywine Health Foundation is able to move ahead quickly with this project while maintaining a financial commitment to many other valuable nonprofit organizations in our community.

We welcome the opportunity to share with you our plans to improve our community’s health now and in the future, so please do not hesitate to call our Development Office should you have any questions (610-380-9080), or if you would like to make a gift of stock.

We hope that the results of our first five years of work will inspire you to make a generous gift to the Brandywine Health Foundation’s Closing the Gap Campaign.
