TCF is honored to join the Delaware County Daily Times as a sponsor of the 2010 Daily Times–TCF Elite Meet. The Elite Meet will be held on Tuesday August 3, 2010 at the Rose Tree Woods Swim Club.

The Elite Meet is a competitive swimming competition matching up the three local summer swim leagues that compete in Delaware County. "Elite" swimmers from the Delco Swim League, the Intra–County Swim League, and the Suburban Swim League earn participation in the meet, based on their stellar performance at league championship competitions.

All net proceeds from the meet will be donated to the American Cancer Society’s local operations.

Hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, potato salad, and desserts are part of any good Memorial Day BBQ. On Sunday May 30, all of this and much more were available at Nassau Swim Club for a special cause.

The 2nd annual BBQ in honor of Lisa Bauer attracted hundreds of supporters. The event featured a number of activities, including a disc jockey, moon bounce, string band, magician, silent auction, and, of course, the pool as a place to splash and swim.

Neal Bauer enthusiastically described the 2010 Lisa Bauer Memorial BBQ as "another huge success that has continued to bring awareness to all of the dangers of heart disease, especially in the case of women. Our goal every year is that, through the monies collected for this event, we will prevent at least one family — and hopefully more — from going through the tragedy of losing a loved one to women’s heart disease."

$6,849 was raised from the BBQ event and donated to the Lisa Bauer Memorial Fund at the Taylor Community Foundation (TCF). All proceeds — plus a $1,000 challenge grant from TCF — were subsequently donated to The American Heart Association and Bryn Mawr Hospital Community Health Services in Lisa’s memory.

Attended by over 200 family members and friends, the Taylor Hospice Celebration of Life was held on Sunday, May 23rd. This event provides an opportunity for hospice families and community members who have endured the loss of a loved one to participate in a celebration and remembrance that includes inspirational messages, selected readings, and music.

Outstanding members of the communities of eastern Delaware County gathered at the Springhaven Club in Wallingford to enjoy the 9th annual recognition reception of the Taylor Community Foundation.

TCF awarded $150,000 in scholarship funding to fifteen high school seniors from the class of 2010. Awards are based upon academic achievement and dedication to a health-related field of study.

Several TCF Grant awardees expressed appreciation for funding received from TCF over the past year, taking the time to talk about their work in the community. Stories covered a range of health and wellness initiatives. Over the past year, TCF provided $205,000 in funding to our community.
