Make a purchase, support a great cause
Through Sunday, October 5, through a special “Sprit Week” celebration sponsored by members of the Phoenixville Area Business Association, purchases in downtown businesses can help support an important program of the Phoenixville Area School District.
Participating merchants will donate 5% of any purchases made by customers in support of "Spirit Week" to the Destinations with Direction program at Phoenixville High School, a Phoenixville Community Education Foundation-supported program designed to increase awareness and provide motivation to high-potential, economically-disadvantaged students to pursue opportunities in higher education.
Paul Oliver of Wolfgang Books had this to say about PABA’s program: "With the amount of tax and grant monies being invested in downtown Phoenixville, I felt that we needed to do something to show that we have not forgotten about the needs of the school district and the important job they have in educating our children", said Oliver. "It also emphasizes buying local to support the local economy. For this week, if you buy local there are direct results in the form of a donation back to a deserving school district program."
Look for purple “Spirit Week” ribbons identifying these retailers: Wolfgang Books, Steel City Coffeehouse, Artisan’s Gallery & Café, Romantic Jewelers, Fashionista Salon, Salon Fiber, The Fenix, Molly Maguires, Speedie Bistro, Morning Star Bed & Breakfast, Ellie’s Choice, Phoenixville Art Center, Jaworski’s Music, Scarlet Begonias, and Diving Cat Studios. Customers should identify their purchases as made in support of “Sprit Week.”
