"On behalf of the FELS team and the Board of Directors, we are so excited to host the organization's first community-wide FELStival," said FELS Board Chair Evan Segal. "This event is a new representation of what FELS is all about at its heart - supporting our community."

FELStival is proudly supported by over sixty (60) sponsors, including Novick Corporation, Haverford Trust, Lassin Philanthropic, Carol & Horace Barsh, Global Tax Management, Janeane & Bob Sloane, and many others. "We at FELS are so grateful for the support of our incredible community," said FELS Director of Development David Reinfeld.

Proceeds from this event will help to support FELS' mission of providing equitable education to all children. "While completely out of the control of a child, the socio-economic situation they are born into dictates the quality of care and education available to them," said FELS President & CEO Taka Agawa. "We believe that FELS is making the world a better place by providing the highest quality care to those in our communities that need it."
FELStival will be held at Paley Early Learning Center located at 2199 Strahle St., Philadelphia, PA 19152. For more information, please visit FELS online at www.felskids.org/FELStival-2022/. In the case of inclement weather, FELStival will be held on June 26.
