This is the second year that the event will remain virtual.\u00a0 \u201cAt home continues to be the safest place to gather in a large group,\u201d said Ronan W. Gannon, Chief Executive Officer of LCH.\u00a0 \u201cBut as a community, over this past year and a half, we have all learned to adjust, and to find unique, fun ways to be together.\u00a0 It will still be a night to celebrate the incredible strength and resilience of our patients, and the impact that LCH has on southern Chester County, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event will celebrate the theme of fall harvest, putting a spotlight on the many local farms in the area.\u00a0 Registered guests will receive a box of goodies to help them celebrate fall.\u00a0 During the event, LCH will also provide an update on their services amidst the pandemic, and the fifth annual Alice K. Moorhead Community Impact Award, a recognition of exceptional dedication and support to LCH\u2019s mission, will be presented to Ann and Steven Hutton.\u00a0 Sarel Fonseca will be awarded the second annual LCH Volunteer of the Year Award.\u00a0 To keep everyone connected to the event, LCH is asking attendees to use the social media hashtag #AmigosofLCH when posting event photos and attendee selfies.<\/p>\n
