Achieving Higher Standards: How a Philadelphia-based organization has raised up a neighborhood for 40 Years

ACHIEVEability strives to do just that--to raise individuals and businesses above the socioeconomic dividing line and lift the neighborhood to become a gleaming beacon of hope, achievement, and of course, sustained success.

Numerous individuals who have participated in sponsoring and supporting this American Dream were celebrated during the 40th Anniversary of the Foundation on October 19th at The Mann Center in Philadelphia, PA-and I felt honored to attend as the official media sponsor of the event.

As a radio show host of Food, Farms, & Chefs, I was on-location interviewing some of the heroes behind ACHIEVEability during the event.
