What a weekend for Camphill Kimberton!

We did it - Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

We are thrilled to announce we have surpassed the goal of the Catherine Marie Todd Matching Gift Challenge. We raised $67,411.27 in gifts of cash and pledges. Thank you!

Because of your generosity, we have also received the matching gift - $50,000 has been contributed by our very generous donor, Clifford Todd, in memory of his sister, Catherine Marie.

We gratefully accepted the donation at a celebration luncheon held at the Camphill Cafe on Saturday, October 15. 
 



Thank you to everyone who made this possible!  And special thanks to Ruben M. for creating this video.






Then on Sunday, October 16 it was time for the 5th Annual Camphill Challenge - a bike ride in support of the three Camphill communities in Pennsylvania: Camphill Kimberton, Camphill Soltane, and Camphill Special School.  Approximately 300 riders participated in the event.  It was an absolutely beautiful fall day for the ride and the picnic that followed.   Thank you to those who supported this collaborative event.

CVKH Blog: Camphill Challenge set for Sunday

The Camphill communities in Chester County will host the fourth annual Camphill Challenge cycling event on Sunday, October 17. Camphill Village Kimberton Hills, Camphill Special School, and Camphill Soltane are pleased to be working together on this collaborative fundraising event.


The bike ride, which begins and ends at Camphill Village Kimberton Hills, offers 50, 33, and 10-mile courses for all ages and ability levels. Cyclists will ride through Chester County during peak autumn foliage with beautiful views of horse farms, historic homes, and covered bridges. A picnic and music will round out the day.
By participating in the ride, you will be making a difference to three unique communities, each of which create environments where people with intellectual and developmental disabilities live with dignity and pride.
