It is a great way to get name exposure on our websites, Facebook pages, event brochures and signage and more. There are even ways to have a presence at our event, too.  Check out our 150th Event Sponsorship Opportunities.  Then contact us at ivyland150@ivylandborough.org or call Geff Rapp 215.570.7979.

Individual residents, former Ivylanders and neighbors can help support the event with donations of any size.  Follow the Donate link here or above to make a contribution securely online.  Or send a check to Ivyland Heritage Association, 991 Pennsylvania Ave, Ivyland PA 18974.

We need volunteers for the 150^th Event Day!

Our big 150^th Anniversary Celebration is fast approaching and we really need some volunteers to help – especially on event day Saturday June 24^th.   We have all kinds of things that need a helping hand – some require some physical arms and legs and some don’t.  So really anybody can be of help.  Sign up here or email us at ivyland150@ivylandborough.org and let us know how you can help.
