PHLove for PHL COVID-19 Fund

The strength and resilience that is possessed by the people of Philadelphia never ceases to amaze. It’s in these times that we can fully appreciate the city that we all love so much — Philly.

Say what you want about Philadelphians, but we are unwilling to give up – not only on ourselves, as it turns out, but also on one another. Sure, nobody likes us, but you know… We don’t care…

In the spirit of philanthropy and helping thy neighbor, the PHL COVID-19 Fund just announced that it will be hosting PHLove, an event presented by the Middleton Family, a one hour variety show on Thursday, May 21 at 7 p.m., to support the COVID Relief Fund.
