Read this message from Raina de Leon, a recipient of TCF’s 2011 Health Professions Scholarship. After graduating from Ridley High School, Raina was awarded this scholarship to support her undergraduate studies at Drexel University. 👏
“I am currently pursuing a Master in Law at Penn Carey Law and the University of Pennsylvania, deepening my expertise in legal and regulatory frameworks that support innovation and compliance in the healthcare sector. I was honored to present at AU 2024, where my talk was recognized as one of the best presentations of the event.
My company continues to grow, with a focus on partnering with small medical device companies to lead them in quality and regulatory compliance. Our mission is to ensure that safe, effective, and high-quality products reach the patients who need them most.
On the personal front, my husband continues to work in the medical device field and has been incredibly supportive in helping me develop and grow the business. Our children, now 2.5 and 4.5 years old, are growing into fun, adventurous little humans who fill our lives with energy and joy.”
TCF is so proud of all the incredible things Rania has accomplished and is so glad to have taken part in her journey to success!
🐶🐶 New Leash on Life USA, a recent TCF Community Grant awardee, shared the following update on their USA foster program of SCI Chester:
We have served 12 participants and 13 at-risk dogs, including Roman, pictured. In August 2024, Roman was found tied to a tree and brought to a shelter. With only hours left to be rescued from the shelter in late August, New Leash stepped in and brought him to SCI Chester, where he trained and excelled in his classes for two months. He found his forever home in late Oct, and now he’s a loved family member who enjoys hikes, walks, and playing in the yard! 😄
Their first participant from the foster program team to be paroled was released in Sept 2024. He successfully completed his paid internship at PSPCA and was hired full-time there in December 2024!
They’re also pleased to share that just this week, the Reentry Program at SCI Chester started its first cohort of 6 participants and 3 dogs.
📢 Murphy’s Giving Market – a 2024 Project W Small Grants Awardee provided us with their Spring Impact Recap. It’s amazing how working together, we’re building a healthier, more connected community!
In just 3 months, Murphy’s Giving Market welcomed 2,562 pantry visits from 430 households—serving 1,652 people, including 641 children & 221 seniors! Every food distribution included hygiene products and clothing items. During Spring Break, they packed and distributed 300 break bags to school social workers in the Upper Darby, William Penn, and Philadelphia school districts.
🩺 New Health Partnerships: • Pettaway Pursuit Foundation moved in! • Saint Joseph’s Health Promoter Program began free monthly screenings. • Ongoing collab with Delco Health Dept, including focus groups & Wellness for Mom workshop.
🧠 Mental Health & Support: • Free/low-cost mental health services • Active women’s support group (17 members!) • English classes with Centro de Apoyo Comunitario
📚Meet Gweniviere Mewha—a recent graduate with a degree in Elementary and Special Education, and now a first-time teacher ready to inspire young minds! Thanks to the Kara Barnard Youth Literacy Fund, a program of The Community’s Foundation, Gweniviere is starting her very first classroom with hundreds of books to fill her shelves and spark a love of reading in her students.
Building a classroom library can be overwhelming and expensive for new teachers, but the Kara Barnard Youth Literacy Fund helps bridge that gap—empowering educators and putting books directly into kids’ hands from day one.🩷
We’re so excited for Gweniviere and the many young readers who will grow up surrounded by stories, adventures, and possibilities.
Special shoutout to Amanda Biehl, a 2020 Springfield High School graduate and TCF Scholar🙌
As a recipient of the TCF/Henderson Nursing Scholarship, Amanda graduated from Bloomsburg University in May 2024. After receiving her BSN with a minor in aging studies and gerontology, she admirably obtained her license as an RN and began her career at Lankenau Medical Center in August 2024!🤩
We’re excited to share this message from Amanda: “Thank you again for the help from TCF along the way. Having this scholarship helped tremendously to get me in the position I am now!”
Delaware County proudly recognized 69 local veterans with Hometown Heroes banners — a powerful tribute lining the streets to honor those who’ve served our country with courage and sacrifice.
Each banner is more than a photo. It’s a story of bravery, family, and community. Let us never forget the service and sacrifice of those who gave us so much.🩵
This meaningful project was made possible thanks to The Community’s Foundation, who handled everything behind the scenes.
We’re so proud to recognize Brianna, senior at Penncrest High School, as the 2025 recipient of the Michael Manganiello Lionheart Scholarship Award (a program of The Community’s Foundation). This is an honor given to a student who demonstrates exceptional courage, resilience, and heart.

Together, we’re building a brighter future for our community!
To our incredible TCF Health Professions & Henderson Nursing Scholars — THANK YOU! 💙 Your compassion, resilience, and dedication to healing inspire us every single day. Whether you’re in the classroom, clinicals, or out changing lives, you are the heart of healthcare. 🩺💪
