In 2023, Valley Youth House introduced a new signature event in the Philadelphia region, bringing a successful event model from the Lehigh Valley to a new market. Our Annual Setting the Stage event is an Awards Program & Reception prior to a concert. To date, it has helped to raise over $600,000 in direct program funding to serve youth in the Greater Philadelphia region and allowed us to share our mission with new friends and supporters.
Thank you to our 2024 sponsors, committee members, co-chairs, and honoree for making last year’s event such a success. Your partnership with Valley Youth House and support of our mission to build strong communities for young people in Philadelphia is greatly appreciated. Last year’s event raised over $257,000 for the youth and families we serve in the Greater Philadelphia region. Please stay tuned for our 2026 event!
