IBEW Local 98 and the Philadelphia Building and Construction Trades Council are partnering with the Ebenezer Foundation and Elmwood Park Zoo to bring joy to many Norristown-area elementary school children this holiday season.
The partner organizations are sponsoring a “Holiday Giveaway Contest” in which students can submit original works of art and written essays to win a new bike or toy just in time for the winter holidays.
Children from Kindergarten through Second Grade will be able to submit an original piece of art. Children in Grades Three through Six can submit a brief, original essay on “What they love most about Norristown?”
On Friday, December 22, the winners and their families will be celebrated and presented with their prizes at a“Community Holiday Party” at Elmwood Park Zoo in Norristown (1661 Harding Blvd. The event will take place from 4 to 8 p.m.
IBEW Local 98 and the Philadelphia Building Trades enjoy a great working relationship with Elmwood Park Zoo and share a mutual respect for the great charitable work of the Ebenezer Foundation.
The Ebenezer Foundation, a registered 501 (C)-3 non-profit that is running the contest, is in need of financial support to continue to provide youth development and educational opportunities for Norristown’s children. Tax-deductible contributions can be mailed to:
