CHA Celebrates 85 Years of Serving Area Children
It all started with milk...85 years ago! Local Sewickley women founded the Child Health Association of Sewickley (CHAOS) in 1923, during a period in history when child welfare programs were scarce. One of the earliest service projects of the organization was to provide free milk for area public school children to combat malnutrition. Now 85 years later, we have proudly given over $3.3 million to children’s causes in western Pennsylvania.
To celebrate this milestone, CHA will be having a birthday party on Saturday, August 23, 2008 at the Edgeworth Club. The affair will be a casual cookout with music for dancing. For more information or to request an invitation, please contact the Child Health office at 412.741.3221 or childhealth@comcast.net..
