Germantown Avenue in Chestnut Hill will serve as the backdrop on Saturday, April 11, for “Stroll the Avenue for a Cause,” benefiting Friends of the Wissahickon (FOW).
A collaboration between Chestnut Hill Design Destination (CHDD) and the Chestnut Hill Business District, businesses will donate a portion of the day’s sales to support the preservation and management of Wissahickon Valley Park, the natural landscape that has helped define Chestnut Hill as the city’s garden district.
FOW is a nonprofit conservation organization based in Philadelphia. Founded in 1924, it protects and enhances the more than 2,000 acres of the park, one of the city’s most visited and ecologically significant natural areas.
From 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., visitors can stroll Germantown Avenue, explore local shops and restaurants, and enjoy spring-inspired storefront displays to help support the cause. It brings together shops and restaurants to give back while encouraging visitors to explore, shop and invest in the neighborhood.
“Commerce and conservation are closely connected in Chestnut Hill,” said Shawn Gibbons, owner of Home Works and co-chair of CHDD, which unites designers, architects, artisans, contractors and specialty shops into a collaborative community to enhance the design experience. “The Wissahickon shapes our identity, our architecture, and our lifestyle. This event brings our business community together while supporting the landscape that defines our neighborhood.”
