Welcome
The Phyllis Recca Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization committed to supporting causes related to the health, personal growth and well-being of children. From 2000 - 2024, the Foundation supported families and programs at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The Foundation also supports other community activities including educational, historic preservation and social programs.
Programs Supporting the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP)
From 2000 to 2018, the major focus of the Foundation was helping families with children suffering life-threatening medical conditions by paying their hospital bills at CHOP. Beginning 2019, we entered into a five year pledge to support three worthy programs: Social Work Emergency Fund, Healing Power of Play and Adolescent Support at the Brandywine Valley Specialty Care Center. The Foundation continues to support CHOP based on unique annual requests, most recently the Therapy Programs, Rehab Outings and projects for the Brandywine Valley Specialty Care Center.
Educational, Historic Preservation and Social Activities
The Foundation provides financial assistance for activities which stress education, historic preservation and social responsibility. This includes organizations which promote hands-on historical education opportunities and helping families in need.
