Serving Our Local Communities

At Evolution Financial Group, we realize the importance of supporting local communities and organizations to help improve the lives of individuals and families. As a company, we identify charitable organizations to support throughout the Greater Philadelphia Region through monetary donations and/or volunteering.

Our employees also play a big part in the organizations we support, since many charities are ones that our employees are directly involved with on a regular basis. Below are a number of the organizations and causes we have been proud to support over the years.

Cancer Society’s City-to-Shore Bike-a-Thon

American Cancer Society Bike events leverage the personal experiences, leadership, and professional excellence of local communities. Cyclists and volunteers come together to honor cancer survivors, spread the word about reducing cancer risk, and raise money to help the American Cancer Society save lives. Your participation allows the American Cancer Society to lead the fight for a world without cancer. Together, through the fundraising efforts and dedication of our cyclists and volunteers, we are fighting cancer smarter, better and harder than we ever have before. www.acsbike.org

CHOP’s Buddy Walk

CHOP’s Trisomy 21 Program provides ongoing care, education and services to more than 2,000 individuals with Down syndrome and their families each year. Our Program would not exist as it does today without the tremendous support of the CHOP Buddy Walk® & Family Fun Day. Now in its 17th year, the CHOP Buddy Walk® has raised more than $3.4 million for Down syndrome research and services at CHOP. www.buddywalk.chop.edu

Donor Dash - Gift of Life

For the past 25 years Gift of Life Donor Program, together with our dedicated volunteers, has hosted the Donor Dash to promote organ and tissue donation. The Dash celebrates the life-saving power of donation and honors all of the donors who give others a second chance at life.

The popular annual event, which attracts more than 14,000 people from throughout the tristate region, raises funds to educate the community about the need for more people to register as organ and tissue donors. Held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, it is Gift of Life’s largest and most visible event of the year.

Proceeds from the Donor Dash benefit the Transplant Foundation, the charitable foundation that supports programs and activities for donor and recipient families. These include Gift of Life Family House and Team Philadelphia‘s participation at the Donate Life Transplant Games of America. www.donors1.org/dash2020

EVANFEST

Evan Brady was a graduate of Malvern Prep who lost his fight with osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer) on September 21, 2005. In honor of Evan’s spirit and will to overcome life’s greatest obstacles, EVANFEST was created. Today, many families in our local communities are faced with the reality of dealing with significant hardships as a result of a child’s unexpected illness. EVANFEST seeks to bring surrounding communities together to raise money for families whose child is battling a life-threatening illness. Since 2006, EVANFEST has been able to raise over $1,000,000 and has helped over 280 local families in their struggle to manage the challenges of helping their children with a life-threatening illness. Our annual goal is to deplete our funds each year by issuing grants to as many families as possible. We are proud to be considered a highly efficient charity with all of our staff being 100% volunteer. Evolution Advisor, Chuck Creighton is an active board member of this organization. www.evanfest.com

Mackenzie Blair Foundation:

Sudden Unexpected Death in Childhood (SUDC)

The Mackenzie Blair Foundation was founded after the loss of the founders’s daughter at 20 months of natural causes in December 2015. Mackenzie, their daughter’s name, fell under a category of Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood, which is the second leading cause of childhood death under children 1-5, but had no national funding. The mission of the Mackenzie Blair Foundation is to raise awareness for SUDC as well as to support the SUDC Foundation as well as provide scholarships to local high school seniors. The 5 year goal of the Mackenzie Blair Foundation is to partially or fully financially assist families with the funeral costs incurred by the sudden loss of their child. The Mackenzie Blair Foundation takes pride in being able to continue Mackenzie’s legacy by helping others and sharing her story. We will continue until there is not a need to any longer. Mackenzie was not only a daughter, but a sister, a niece, a granddaughter, and also a friend. www.thembfoundation.org

Tracy’s Kids

Tracy’s Kids founder Matt Gerson was diagnosed with cancer as a 10 year old. He knows from personal experience the psychological toll that cancer imposes on a child battling the disease – as well as on his/her siblings and parents. Tracy Councill initially developed the Art Therapy program at Georgetown University Hospital’s Lombardi Cancer Center in Washington, D.C. in 1991. In 1998, Matt observed her work and the rest, as they say, is history. The one-of-a-kind organization has awarded over $6 million in grants to serve eight clinics with full time, Master’s trained, professional Art Therapists. Tracy is widely recognized as a leader in the field of medical art therapy.

Today, well over 80% of children diagnosed with cancer will beat the disease and live the overwhelming majority of their lives cancer-free. Tracy’s Kids is dedicated to helping to ensure that the children we serve are ready to live happy and fulfilling lives. www.tracyskids.org
