Ridley Runs Into 2021 Virtual Run

This run is brought to you by the Community Y and the Ridley Educational Foundation (REF).  

Community Y

Since 1946, our Y has fostered meaningful and lasting personal and social change in Delaware County. This Y was founded to make an important difference in the lives of people. We are here to ensure that people continue to have access to YMCA membership, fellowship and program opportunities.  We work alongside our neighbors to ensure everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

Everything we do is guided by our mission of service — supporting and strengthening our community.  The Y brings people together – from all backgrounds and circumstances – to create connections that transform lives and community. We have always believed that the YMCA is more than a building – the Y is about people – it is defined by the many caring and generous people who are members, staff, and program participants.

The Ridley Educational Foundation 

The Ridley Educational Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in 1999 that raises private dollars through tax-deductible contributions to enrich educational opportunities and to support innovation and excellence in the schools of the Ridley School District. This goal is accomplished by funding grants for teachers and by strengthening communication between the community and the schools. The REF operates independently from the Ridley School district for the primary benefit of its students. Funds raised by the Foundation promote and enhance educational programs and activities that are not normally funded within the constraints of the school districts operating budget. The REF is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. The official registration and financial information of Ridley Educational Foundation may be obtained from the Pennsylvania Department of State by calling toll free, within Pennsylvania, 1 (800) 732-0999. Registration does not imply endorsement.
