Scranton Area Community Foundation To Host Community Celebration

The Scranton Area Community Foundation will host its 2025 Annual Community Celebration, “Celebrating Community: A Year of Impact, Partnership, and Possibility,” on Thursday, December 4, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Foundation’s new home in the historic Century Club of Scranton, located at 612 Jefferson Avenue.

The Foundation’s signature year-end event brings together donors, fundholders, partners, nonprofit leaders, and community members to celebrate the generosity that strengthens Northeastern Pennsylvania. The evening will highlight key milestones from the past year, recognize meaningful partnerships, and share stories of impact made possible through charitable giving.

“This celebration is an opportunity to honor the people and organizations who make our region stronger every day,” said Laura Ducceschi, President and CEO of the Scranton Area Community Foundation. “The progress we’ve made in 2025—from transformative grants to strategic community initiatives—is a direct reflection of our partners’ generosity and commitment to creating meaningful, lasting change.”

Guests will enjoy live music, hors d’oeuvres, and meaningful conversation during an opening networking hour beginning at 5:00 p.m. Dinner stations and refreshments will be available. A brief program will follow at 6:00 p.m., featuring stories of collaboration, progress, and the possibilities ahead for 2026.

The event also offers attendees the opportunity to:

• Hear inspiring stories of impact made possible by donor generosity
• Connect with fellow supporters, partners, and community leaders
• Celebrate shared accomplishments from 2025
• Look ahead to new opportunities for partnership in the coming year

The Annual Community Celebration is free to attend, though registration is required. Sponsorship opportunities are also available. Guests are kindly asked to RSVP by Sunday, November 30, at www.safdn.org.
