We were ecstatic to bring back a beloved Horizon House tradition with our 2023 Fall Festival! As seen in the photos above, this year’s theme was “A Red and White September to Remember.”

Both staff and participants came out to our Stokley Street office parking lot for a fun day in the sun. All of our attendees showed up in their best red and white outfits to partake in food, games and friendly competition. Many of our great friends and supporters were also on hand to provide helpful information and resources of all kinds to our participants.

Our CEO and President Jeff Wilush was also there to take pictures with staff and participants.

Overall, we had a great turnout from individuals across our Agency. Our first Fall Festival since 2019 truly turned out to be a day to remember!

Horizon House is proud to share our participation in sponsoring a team in the Eagles Autism Challenge charity event that took place last Saturday. Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie was humbled by the efforts of nearly 4,500 participants who came together to raise a total of 6.2 million dollars for this wonderful mission. Even the rain could not stop all of the players, coaches, bikers, runners, and walkers from showing their support and enjoying this celebration. A huge thank you goes out to our awesome Horizon House team for taking part!

Horizon House was happy to team up with Community Health and Gardens, Inc. in West Philadelphia yesterday afternoon to plant some seeds in the dirt. We had a great volunteer turnout with some staff and participants from one of our Behavioral Health Services, the Wellness Alliance.
