 Kids-N-Hope Foundation Triumphs
with Over $12K Raised at
Unique Spring Bingo Bash

The Kids-N-Hope Foundation celebrated a successful Spring Purse and Power Tool Bingo event in Philadelphia, where it raised over $12,000. The event saw more than 200 participants engage in 20 rounds of bingo, enjoy over a dozen raffle baskets, and spend quality time with loved ones, all in support of the Foundation's efforts to fund children's health and life services, with a particular focus on music therapy programs.

Bruce K. Foulke, the Foundation's Founder and chairman, expressed deep appreciation for the community's ongoing support through these events. The Foundation, established by American Heritage Credit Union in 1996, has contributed more than $3.8 million to support Child Life Services, especially Music Therapy, at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and other local hospitals.

American Heritage Credit Union, a member-owned financial cooperative with over $4.8 billion in assets, serves more than 310,000 members across several counties and has been recognized as Pennsylvania’s Best-in-State Credit Union by Forbes in 2023.

Krispy Kreme and McDonald’s
Brew Up a Sweet Partnership for
Nationwide Doughnut Rollout

McDonald’s

Krispy Kreme and McDonald's are joining forces to offer Krispy Kreme doughnuts at McDonald’s locations across the U.S., aiming for complete rollout by the end of 2026. This partnership, announced with a phased start later this year, is expected to significantly expand Krispy Kreme's accessibility. Three doughnut varieties will be available at participating McDonald’s, marking a significant step in collaborations between major food brands and restaurant chains. The news has positively impacted Krispy Kreme's stock, highlighting the financial and strategic potential of this alliance.

Dine with Purpose: Royersford Restaurant Hosts Fundraiser for
Cat NAPS of Pottstown

In a heartwarming display of community spirit, Downtown Gastropub & Restaurant, located at 401 Main St., Royersford, is set to host a special event that promises not only a delightful dining experience but also an opportunity to support a noble cause.

The event, scheduled from 5 pm to 8 pm today March 28th, is organized in favor of Cat NAPS of Pottstown, Inc., a local organization dedicated to the welfare of cats. During this fundraiser, a portion of the evening's proceeds will be generously donated to Cat NAPS of Pottstown, offering patrons the chance to enjoy a meal and contribute to the wellbeing of felines in need.

Linda Breedy, associated with the initiative, invites everyone to partake in this unique gathering, ensuring their night out is both enjoyable and meaningful.

Manchester City Secures
Future Transfer of Prodigy
Cavan Sullivan from Philadelphia Union

Philadelphia Union

Manchester City has agreed to sign Cavan Sullivan, a 14-year-old from the Philadelphia Union academy, on his 18th birthday. The deal includes significant add-ons and a sell-on clause. Sullivan will sign a record-breaking MLS homegrown contract with the Union to stay in the U.S. until he moves to Manchester. There is also an agreement for Sullivan to join a City Football Group team in Europe earlier if he surpasses MLS level before turning 18.

Laugh Out Loud with John Henton and Talent This Friday at SoulJoel’s

SoulJoel’s is thrilled to present a laugh-filled evening with the highly anticipated Talent's Friday Night Comedy Jam featuring none other than the comedic genius, John Henton. This special event, headlined by Henton himself and showcasing Talent, promises an unforgettable night of humor and entertainment.

Mark your calendars for Friday, March 29th, with doors opening at 8pm and the show kicking off at 8:30pm. Tickets are a steal at just $25 for general admission and $35 for VIP seats, ensuring everyone has the chance to join in the laughter at 50 Sunnybrook Road, Pottstown, PA 19464.

John Henton, a comedian who vividly remembers his roots in the world of stand-up, has entertained audiences across the country with his fresh jokes and relatable narratives. Taking a brief hiatus to guest star on a "Hannah Montana" episode, Henton's journey includes a standout performance at the 2005 Montreal International Comedy Festival – Just For Laughs, where his infectious laughter led to an additional show request. Henton's dynamic partnership with "Living Single" co-star Kim Coles has also been a source of delight for audiences far and wide.

Having carved a niche for himself on television with memorable roles in "Living Single" and "The Hughleys," Henton has earned critical acclaim, including NAACP Image Award nominations. His foray into comedy began unexpectedly in 1982, leading him from a computer science student to a comedy club sensation and eventually to Los Angeles to pursue his passion full-time. His big break on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" catapulted his career, marking the beginning of numerous television and comedy special appearances.

Despite his Los Angeles residence, Henton's heart remains in Cleveland, his birthplace. Outside of comedy, he cherishes time with his daughter, Nicole Simone Henton, and is currently honing his golf skills.
