2020 FUND DONATION
Although we were unable to hold any events in the year 2020 due to the COVID-19 crisis, we remain committed to the continued efforts of the Brian C. Zwaan Legacy Fund during this time of uncertainty and community shutdowns. The Brian C. Zwaan Legacy Fund Board made a unanimous decision to make a $10,000.00 donation to the Chester County Charitable Foundation in support of their
COVID-19 Fund to help sponsor local educational programming during the initial shutdown. It was an easy decision to make, as Bill Weber said, “What would Brian Zwaan do?”. We thank all of you for your continued support of our efforts in 2020.
