Congratulations to Andrea Pettine on being honored by the Greater West Chester Chamber of Commerce as one of four exceptional women leaders in our community. Andrea's success as an attorney, entrepreneur, and community leader—and her continued service to the Chester County Bar Foundation—make this recognition especially well deserved. We hope many will join us in supporting Andrea and celebrating the achievements of all the honorees.

We are thrilled to spotlight Andrea Pettine, owner of Pettine Law Offices, LLC, as a Leading with Impact honoree for her success in a male-dominated field.

Andrea has built an extraordinary career as a leader, business owner, mentor, and advocate in the legal profession. She was only the 7th woman in the 100-year history of the Chester County Bar Association to serve as President — a powerful reflection of the barriers she has helped break for women in law and leadership.

Join us on June 18 to hear Andrea’s inspiring story and celebrate the women creating impact throughout our community.

This program is presented by Rycor HVAC, and this award is presented by First Resource Bank

What an incredible evening at the Brandywine Museum of Art supporting the Foundation! We raised over $75,000 through sponsorships and fundraising efforts! 🎉

The night was filled with fun from the amazing live illustrations by Denise Fike to the memories captured at the photo booth.

A huge thank you to our energetic auctioneer, Bob Frame, Esquire for getting the crowd excited and making the auction such a success!

And of course, heartfelt thanks to all of our sponsors for helping make this special evening possible.

We can’t wait for next year! 💙
