Giving Circles

Club POP Star benefits are based on your Annual Fund support and begin the month of your primary Annual Fund gift. For example: f you make a gift to the Annual Fund in December, your membership in Club POP Star and the benefits associated with your Giving Circle are active from December through November.

As a Club POP Star member, you’ll receive invitations to VIP events throughout your membership period. Participation in those events may affect the tax deductibility of your gift. You may also elect to decline donor benefits, and not receive event invitations.

For questions about your Club POP Star membership, please contact the POP Development Department at developmen@playonphilly.org or 215-729-1863.

POP PROFILE

Meet Chastidy

“Music has helped with my confidence. My parents are immigrants from the Dominican Republic. The culture in the Dominican Republic is mostly about men going out doing things. At Play On, Philly! though, there are a lot of strong females who speak their mind. I do now, too. A boy isn’t going to hand me the medical degree I want. I’ve got to do it.”
