We are excited to have selected Moira Mumma and Jared Smith as our 2024 Champions of the Community!
The Champions of the Community Awards were established by the Foundation in 2000 to honor the often unsung heroes of greater Phoenixville. A committee of the Foundation’s board of directors reviews nominations submitted by the community and selects the Champions. Since inception, more than 90 people have been honored as Champions.
Moira recently retired as Executive Director of Citizen Advocacy of Chester County after an incredible 36-years of service. Additionally, Moira played a pivotal role in founding The Community Coalition, an innovative collaboration between five area nonprofits to fundraise together and share expenses. Moira has devoted her professional and personal life to making the greater Phoenixville community a better place for everyone.
Jared is a dedicated volunteer of many nonprofits including Ann’s Heart of Phoenixville, Delaware Valley VEG, Phoenixville Jaycees, Save The Schuylkill, and Good Sprout Rescue. You can find Jared, every week, cooking meals for the community in the kitchen at Ann’s Heart. Jared was injured some time ago in a car accident and is in a wheelchair, but he overcomes barriers to accessibility daily so he can continue to serve others.
Moira and Jared were celebrated at the Phoenixville Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Annual Award Dinner on March 20, 2024.
