CCD Foundation News

CCD is starting work on enhancements to Sister Cities Park. We will be expanding the park’s opportunities for play by offering new components that engage children from a broader range of ages.

CCDF is approaching its fundraising goal for planting 200 new trees in the central business district during the next two years through its initiative, Plant Center City.

Project HOME and the CCD unveiled a new information campaign that is being deployed on transit shelters and counter cards in Center City, highlighting five Philadelphians previously living on the streets who chose a path out of homelessness and now seek to inspire others to do the same.

CCD is pleased to present the activation of the first phase of Pulse, a site-specific work of public art created for Dilworth Park by internationally renowned artist Janet Echelman.

City and state officials, philanthropic organizations, cultural and business leaders, neighbors and civic groups joined CCD President and CEO Paul R. Levy and members of the public for a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the official opening of Phase 1 of the Rail Park.
