Join us for the Eighth Annual Women Creating Legacy event
We have a new event blooming this year in our historic gardens.
Join us at the Women Creating A Legacy cocktail party on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, from 5pm-8pm. We’re hosting a garden party you won’t want to miss at the partially restored Battles White House, 306 Walnut Street, Girard, PA. Wear your favorite floral dress and stylish hat and enjoy a country garden party celebrating businesswoman and philanthropist Charlotte Elizabeth Battles.
Enjoy heavy hors d’oeuvres from Make it Fabulous, bar, and music. This event promises to be a great party with committee members Lauren Bauer, Emily Fessler Suchanec, Erin Fessler, Susan Kanonczyk, Abby Lechner, Barb Lechner, Dr. Kim Mascia, Leah Murphy, Lisa NeCastro, and Dana Zaphiris. Last year 220 guests attended!
This is a campus-wide, inside/outside fundraising party to support the $250,000 restoration of the Battles historic home. As a unique perk, Women Creating A Legacy will be the first group invited to see this homestead. This white house was built in 1861 by Rush Battles, Charlotte’s father, and the restoration began in 2024 with a massive project including exterior painting. Additional restorations will be completed in 2025.
