Founder’s Award Dinner - The Historical Society of Pennsylvania

The Historical Society of Pennsylvania hosts the 2024 Founder’s Award Dinner on Thursday, May 16th. Join us as we honor Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, political commentator and author George F. Will with the Founder’s Award for exemplary service to the humanities.

We will also honor the Philadelphia Phillies with the Heritage Award for their contributions to the history, heritage, and community of greater Philadelphia.

This special evening – HSP’s largest fundraiser of the year – will include a cocktail reception, dinner, an awards ceremony and a live auction. The evening’s proceeds support HSP’s mission to collect, preserve, and ensure access to the irreplaceable historical evidence found within our collections.

About the Founder's Award:
The Historical Society of Pennsylvania seeks not only to enrich and maintain the historical record but also to champion history’s uses and enhance its value to the public. As part of its 175th anniversary celebration, the Society established the Founder’s Award for exemplary service to History to recognize leaders in these causes.
