Foundations Community Partnership Invests $100,000
Foundations Community Partnership is proud to present a $100,000 donation to Lenape Valley Foundation to support the development of its new crisis stabilization center, Bright Path Center.
“This investment represents our deep commitment to advancing behavioral health and human services for children and families in Bucks County,” said Tracy Pasternak Willis, Chair of the Foundations Community Partnership Board of Directors. “By supporting Lenape Valley Foundation and Bright Path Center, we are helping bring a profoundly needed resource to our community that will serve thousands of individuals and families in crisis for years to come.”
Slated to open in 2026, Bright Path Center will be located adjacent to Lenape Valley Foundation’s existing outpatient site in Doylestown. The center is designed to transform behavioral health crisis care in Bucks County. With separate, trauma-informed spaces for children and adults, it will deliver 24/7 crisis services to meet urgent behavioral health, substance use, intellectual and developmental disability challenges.
“On behalf of Lenape Valley Foundation, I express our heartfelt gratitude to Foundations Community Partnership for this generous gift,” said Dave Herold, CEO of Lenape Valley Foundation. “This enables us to bring Bright Path Center to life and fulfill its mission to deliver compassionate, integrated crisis care in Bucks County.”
