The Philadelphia-based employees of the ACE Group are pleased to
participate in the 16th Annual Philadelphia Cares Day, which
marks the ACE Charitable Foundation’s 8th year as presenting
sponsor and 9th year of support. On Saturday, October 17, ACE
employees from offices in Philadelphia and Wilmington, along with their
families and friends, will join nearly 8,000 individual and corporate
volunteers in a city-wide, organized day of community service to help
improve Philadelphia’s public schools.
ACE employees will work on several volunteer activities alongside the
students, staff and teachers at Welsh Elementary School in North
Philadelphia, including indoor and outdoor painting, cleaning,
organizing and beautification projects.
“At ACE, we believe in dedicating our resources to help improve the
communities where our employees live and work,” said John Lupica,
President and Chief Executive Officer for ACE USA. “We are proud to
sponsor this tremendous day of community service and partner with
Philadelphia Cares and the tens of thousands of volunteers who are doing
their part to help make Philadelphia’s public schools a better learning
environment for children, teachers and staff.”
Greater Philadelphia Cares is a non-profit organization that supports
the creation of vibrant communities by motivating people to volunteer
their time, talents and resources to address the critical social,
educational, and environmental needs of the Greater Philadelphia region.
Eden Kratchman, Vice President and Executive Director, ACE Charitable
Foundation, commented on ACE’s continued involvement in Philadelphia
Cares Day. “Our association with Philadelphia Cares allows our employees
to have a hands-on opportunity to work with the Philadelphia School
District to contribute to the health and well-being of the students,
