“We’re honored to receive this significant contribution and we consider ourselves fortunate to have a committed park partner like we have in the Valley Forge Tourism & Convention Board,” said Superintendent Steve Sims. “As a three-time Rev Run participant, I look forward to seeing the race continue for years to come as it provides a direct benefit to enhancing the visitor experience within the park.”
“Valley Forge National Historical Park is one of the region’s most visited destinations and we are thrilled to present our largest-ever donation to help support key programming and improvement projects in the Park with funds from this year’s Rev Run,” said Mike Bowman, president and CEO, Valley Forge Tourism & Convention Board.
The $55,000 contribution will support three programs and projects in the park, including Historic Philadelphia Inc.’s “Once Upon a Nation” storytelling program, improvements for the Grand Parade trail system, and a sustaining fund for future maintenance of Sullivan’s Bridge – a crucial trail connection between the Schuylkill River Trail and the park.
