STORIES FROM PAFA

#GivingTuesday and the PAFA Community

This year PAFA's Giving Tuesday campaign supported its burgeoning School and Community Partnership Program. Through PAFA's website, people made generous donations to help PAFA's museum education team bring art educators and supplies to Philadelphia public schools that desperately need such resources, including Isaac A. Sheppard Elementary School and Julia de Burgos School in North Kensington. People also showed their support by creating and sharing #Unselfie signs on social media, indicating in English and Spanish why they love PAFA.

Here is a sample of PAFA Unselfies from Giving Tuesday. To make a donation to PAFA's Giving Tuesday campaign, click here.
