Southeast Region
The Second Mile's Southeast Office, established in King of Prussia just over three years ago, is the base from which volunteers in that area support the statewide work of The Second Mile and serve children and families in the seven-county region- Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Lehigh, Montgomery, Northampton, and Philadelphia counties. The Regional Board and staff oversee those efforts, and two highly effective and committed groups of volunteers in the Lehigh Valley and Chester County make up the two Chapter Boards currently chartered in that region. The Regional Board and both Chapters also connect The Second Mile to potential corporate and foundation sponsors and raise friends and funds through regional roundtables and special events. Our area special events include the Lehigh Valley Chapter Celebrity Banquet and Silent Auction. Invited celebrities, corporate sponsors, and individual donors enjoy an evening of entertaining celebrity speakers and lighthearted food and fun and have the opportunity to hear from youth benefiting from Second Mile programs. Widespread corporate and individual support has been key to the success of The Chester County Second Mile Golf Classic, a wonderful outing that makes our area programs for youth possible. Another great event, The Second Mile’s Southeast Celebration of Excellence Banquet, features a celebrity keynote speaker and a night of entertainment, honoring the work of the Southeast region’s Chapter, Board, volunteers and staff in the past year. If you haven’t yet experienced the fun of these events, we would love to have you join us as a guest or sponsor as an additional way to support Second Mile children. Or consider joining the Region’s extensive network of dedicated volunteers by contacting our Southeast Region Office (610) 491-9440 or tricia@thesecondmile.org. Volunteers are the lifeblood of The Second Mile; the Region’s Board, Chapters and staff would welcome your expanded involvement on behalf of children who need our help
