PHMC affiliate Resources for Children’s Health (RCH) held its annual gala, Strengthen a Child’s Tomorrow Today, on November 7. The evening included wine tasting, live music and a silent auction at Oaks Cloister, a beautifully restored, turn-of-the-century private Philadelphia residence that overlooks Fairmount Park. Proceeds from the event benefitted RCH programs that promote positive parenting, healthy pregnancies and the health and wellbeing of children and families. “Our annual gala is a time to celebrate our past accomplishments and raise funds for future programs,” said Jeanne Ciocca, executive director of RCH. “The funds raised from the annual gala help maintain services that provide parents with the support, education and resources they need to raise their children.” RCH provides collaborative, community-based services to support parents in their efforts to develop and sustain an active and positive parenting role.
