Philadelphia LegaciesPhiladelphia Legacies (PL) is quickly embarking on its fifth year. Each year we have exceeded our expectations, and it has become clear that we will be an important annual celebration for years to come.
PL highlights those Philadelphians who have made major contributions to our city by creating beautiful portraits commissioned to outstanding local artists, presents awards to unsung heroes working in our communities, run historic tours through Philadelphia neighborhoods, and raise money for nonprofits in Philadelphia which combat poverty. We also hold networking meetings so that those supporting Philadelphia Legacies can benefit from each other’s resources and wisdom.
