Philly pride + community impact.

Party in the Yard 2026 raised $348,000 in support of our mission to help local families caring for a seriously ill, injured, or disabled child.

Between Rocky, Ben Franklin, Swoop, and the “Fred’s ❤️Philly” photo moment, the city’s spirit was everywhere- and so was the generosity.

Thank you to everyone who made this night possible.

At the heart of our mission are the families we serve. 💙

We support families across the Philadelphia region who are caring for children with serious illnesses, injuries, or disabilities. These murals, unveiled at Party in the Yard this weekend, feature some of the families we’ve had the honor of supporting. The Philadelphia landmarks in the background are a nod to the region these families call home and the community that stands with them. Thanks to Haeg Design for bringing these murals to life!
