2022 Golf Outing Recap

2022 Golf Outing Recap On Monday, October 17th, the ACE Mentor Program of Greater Philadelphia hosted its 3rd Annual Golf Outing at the Union League Golf Club at Torresdale. The event welcomed over 150 members and friends of the design and construction community onto the golf course on a beautiful autumn morning. Thirty foursomes participated in this year’s event, making it our largest ever. Congratulations to our tournament winners from the Herman Goldner and to longest drive winners Carol Horne Penn from Gilbane and TJ Henderson from Structure Tone. “This event provides a great opportunity for contractors, subcontractors and design firms to interact in casual, fun setting while raising money for scholarships,” said Golf Chair Dermid Kelly of Structure Tone. This year nearly $100,000 was raised to support the ACE Greater Philadelphia mentoring program. The money raised will go toward scholarships for current high school students and ACE alumni currently enrolled in higher education and focusing on an A-C-E (architecture, construction, or engineering)related career paths. “We are so grateful to our board and committee members for raising awareness for our program,” said Melissa Raffel, Director of ACE Mentor Program of Greater Philadelphia. “The scholarship money, and exposure to career option in the architecture, construction and engineering fields, contribute to real change and opportunity for these students.” VIEW ALL PHOTOS HERE Learn more about news, events, and announcements! 25Oct admin October 25, 2024 2024 Golf Outing Recap 2023 Golf Outing Recap Golfers hit the links on Monday, October 16th in support of ACE Mentor Program’s scholarship program.

Paint & Plant Day | 2022

Paint & Plant Day | 2022 2022 COMMUNITY BUILD DAY On Saturday, June 4th, the ACE Mentor Program of Greater Philadelphia culminated the 2022 program year with a community build day at the Houseman Rec Center. This is the second year that ACE has guided high school students through the design and construction of a project to improve a public space. The Design & Build Project Team spent months collaborating with many partners to create beautiful and empowering signage to decorate the exterior of the building, and landscaping plans to revitalize the entrance plaza. These efforts came to a successful conclusion with the Painting & Planting Day, which was well attended by ACE mentors and students, colleagues from WRT, and volunteers from Walls for Justice and E&H Lawn Care. We are especially grateful to the many families from the surrounding neighborhood who visited the site and participated in the day’s activities. In particular, we applaud the efforts of the members of the youth football and basketball teams at Houseman. They previously helped to design the building artwork and returned on Saturday to see their work brought to life. Councilwoman Charelle Parker also made an appearance to commend the efforts of all volunteers and celebrate the importance of uplifting our community. ACE is grateful to lead sponsor Michell’s, the many partners who collaborated on this project, and all of the volunteers who attended the Painting & Planting Day on June 4th. Our mentorship of students interested in the A-E-C industries and our service to Philadelphia neighborhoods is made possible by their support!
