Kirkland Village Donor Appreciation Event: A Celebration of Giving, Community, and Purpose

Philanthropy  |  Kirkland Village

On April 9, more than 70 residents and team members gathered at the Cherrywood Lounge and Keystone Gallery at Kirkland Village, Bethlehem, PA, to celebrate a remarkable year of generosity and shared commitment. 

Side by side, friends, neighbors, and colleagues raised a glass to their collective impact—honoring the achievements made possible through fundraising efforts in 2025. Together, an impressive $78,954.80 was raised to support initiatives and people within the Kirkland Village community.

The impact of that generosity was deeply personal. In 2025, 15 residents received Resident Assistance, and PSL provided over $1 million in direct support to Kirkland Village residents. These funds helped cover essential needs such as housing fees, meals, health insurance premiums, medical care, and other necessities. In addition, 13 Kirkland Village team members facing crises—including medical emergencies, fires, car accidents, and unexpected funeral expenses—received vital support through grants totaling $9,650.

Community‑enriching programs also flourished. The resident‑led Art Fund continued to enhance campus life by acquiring new works from local artists and renowned masters, improving gallery infrastructure, and caring for a collection of more than 800 pieces. The Grounds and Gardening Fund helped enhance Kirkland’s natural beauty—from their usual planting to their major landscaping in Northwood Gardens. Meanwhile, the Music Fund brought exceptional performances to campus, contributing to a legacy of more than 250 concerts that fill the community with diverse and inspiring sounds.

The evening concluded with a special surprise: the inaugural presentation of the PSL Team Giving Champion - Community, awarded to the community whose team members raised the most money in 2025.
