the recipient of some grant money that assisted in the
replacement of our roof and some repairs to our building. Our annual Golf Tournament is our

appreciated and helpful to the residents and toward our future

Pentz Run participates in a variety
of fundraising activities throughout the year and benefits from
several charitable organizations. Currently we are working toward an
expansion project that has been on the back burner for several
years now. In 2012, we opened our Transitional Living
Program, consisting of 2 efficiency apartments with the ability
to house 2 older youth with independent living goals. We have found that many of our
residents could benefit from this program, but lack the space to
accommodate them. Our goal is to expand this program with
another building to house more youth. Our plan is to construct a building
with a main living area and kitchen, utility room and 6-8
bedrooms. We have looked at many options for this building
and feel that while stick built may take longer and cost a bit
more, we will likely end up with a better and longer lasting
building. We are setting a fundraising goal of
$300,000.00 for this project. All monies donated or raised
for this project will be added to this account. We have
approximately $43,500 at this time that has been raised through
past fundraisers or donations. Past and present donors for various projects:
The following donors donate
throughout the year with school supplies, baked goods, food,
holiday gifts for the residents quilts, pillow cases, hygiene
products and other resident needs.
