What is PHL24

PHL24 is a 24 hour stair climbing endurance event held annually at the Art Museum steps in Philadelphia.

On September 21st and 22nd, 2024 we will climb the Rocky Steps for 24 continuous hours so that no cancer patient in Philadelphia or Camden County goes without food on their tables or a roof over their heads because of their diagnosis.

We promise never to quit, but we need your support. With a fundraising goal of $250,000, we remain steadfast in our resolve to make a lasting impact on the lives of those who have nowhere else to turn.

From its inception, PHL24 has embodied tenacity, with participants demonstrating gritty resilience and an unwavering commitment to getting the job done. Now entering its 7th year, PHL24 is gearing up to tackle another audacious goal: Raise $250,000 to open the Emergency Patient Support Community Center.

The PHL24 in 2024 fundraising goal of $250,000 is bold because our patients’ needs are critical. With your support, achieving this goal will enable us to acquire a building that will serve as the Emergency Patient Support Community Center. The Center will be a hub of essential services for cancer patients and their families who are facing hunger and homelessness because they are too sick to work. While this journey won’t be easy, our commitment and resolve are unwavering.

We promise to leave our Legacy of Hope.

Check out the Emergency Patient Support Network. To date we have prevented hunger for 6,742 patients in Philadelphia and Camden County. With your support we can do so much more.

Ensure NO Philadelphia Cancer Patient or Family Member Goes Hungry or Homeless Because a Loved One Is Fighting Cancer

YOUR IMPACT

On September 9th and 10th, 2023 our city came together on the Art Museum steps in Philadelphia to witness the power of community. There were 30 athletes climbing the stairs for 24 continuous hours, and there was so much more. The dedication of the athletes, volunteers, staff, police officers, medics, sponsors, families, friends, and donors highlights the power of unity and compassion.

Together, we raised $188,000 which allowed us to purchase a house that, within 4 short weeks, was renovated into the Legacy of Hope Home. This house is now home to a single mom with brain cancer, and her 4 children. This house is a warm, clean space where they can all lay their heads at night knowing that they have an entire city of people pulling for them. The transformative impact of this initiative is profound. Not only did it provide a safe haven to a family in need, but it also ensures that the Legacy of Hope Home will continue to serve as a lifeline for others facing similar hardships.

This is the impact of your efforts. This is what we can do when we come together to make a lasting difference. It’s time to do it again.

YOUR LEGACY

We received an emergency referral for a 25 year old woman who lost her mother to cancer one year ago. Her mother’s death meant that in an instant, she became the primary caregiver for her two younger, school-aged siblings. Shockingly, this young woman was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer just a few months after her mom passed away. She’s been unable to work since her diagnosis and is quickly falling behind on the household bills.

Through the incredible support of the Legacy of Hope community, not only were we able to provide essential supplies for this young woman and her siblings, but we were also able to catch her up with rent payments, which prevented eviction.

When you make a donation to a 24-hour athlete at PHL24, you will be supporting countless families like the one described above. You will be a bright spot when it feels like there is nowhere else to turn. Your donation means that patients and their families will have food on their tables, a roof over their heads and heat in the cold winter months. Your donation means that others will have hope.
