WKC Presents Donation to Pennridge FISH Fall 2018

We continue to celebrate our fiftieth anniversary, this time by giving back to the community. Guests of our recently-held commemorative ribbon cutting were asked to bring a non-perishable food item to the event. This bounty was shared with the Quakertown Food Pantry and Pennridge FISH, just in time for the holidays.

“Our firm reputation is based on our mission statement: ‘Building trust and providing solutions in the community,’” said firm partner Richard Howard, Jr. “Helping others, including through our support of Pennridge FISH and the Quakertown Food Pantry, helps demonstrate commitment to our mission.”

Michael Kracht, Sally Lindemuth, Richard Howard JrWeber Kracht and Chellew partner Michael Kracht, who serves on the board of Pennridge FISH, adds, “In Bucks County, a little over 55,000 people are ‘food insecure.’ That’s nearly ten percent of the county’s population. Thanks to the help of our friends and fellow business owners, these donations help to alleviate the need.”

2017 Five Alarm 5K Raises $6,000 for Perkasie Volunteer Fire Company and Firefighter Scholarships

By

The results are in from this year’s Five Alarm 5K and Two-Mile Fun Run! Thanks to the efforts of 72 runners, 28 business sponsors, 26 raffle prize donors, and many volunteers, $6,000.00 was raised as a result of the November 4 event.

We recently had the pleasure of joining our event co-presenters — Bucks County Community College’s Upper Bucks Campus and  Sisters U — to present the proceeds.  The Perkasie Volunteer Fire Company received $5,400.00, which they will use to buy accessories for the BullEx BullsEye portable fire extinguisher training unit they purchased with the 2016 Five Alarm 5K proceeds. The Bucks County Community College Foundation received $600.00 for firefighter scholarships.

“We’re grateful for the initiative and generosity of the presenting organizations,” said Brian Irvin, Perkasie Fire Company president. “This is the second year that they’ve come to us with the desire to do something for the fire company. These funds will definitely be put to good use.”

The Five Alarm 5K is a timed race, with timing services provided by Pretzel City Sports. Stephanie Savastano repeated her win in the Women’s category with a time of 20:39. Ethan Saville’s run time of 17:08 earned the overall top spot in the Men’s category.

Christmas Dinner for Families in Need

By

It’s no cliche; we really do thrive on giving back to our community. This year we held a Holiday Food Bag Drive to benefit the families served by our friends at Pennridge FISH.

The result? Nineteen bags of food destined for the tables of local families in need. Each bag contained a complete holiday meal including applesauce, yams, green beans, fried onions, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, macaroni & cheese, cranberry sauce, corn, canned fruit and a ham.

We are longtime supporters of Pennridge FISH. In addition to attorney Michael Kracht serving on the board, our 2015 Winter Clothing Drive – thanks to you and the help of local businesses – yielded 897lbs of clothing.

Farewell and Thank You, Karen Chellew

By

We recently bid farewell to our beloved co-worker and friend, Karen Chellew. After 30 years with the firm, most recently as firm administrator, Karen is moving on to exciting new endeavors. To say we will miss her is an understatement but she will always be a part of our “work family.”

We are equally eager to introduce you to our new firm administrator, Dacey Keller, which we will do in an upcoming blog post.
