King of Prussia District to Hold Block Party Benefiting Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia

King of Prussia District and Presenting Sponsor, SERVPRO of King of Prussia, invite families to an epic block party in King of Prussia Town Center on Sunday, April 21 from 1-4 PM.

The Block Party for CHOP closes out the District’s fundraising campaign for Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s (CHOP) King of Prussia Campus, which includes the Middleman Family Pavilion, and CHOP’s Specialty Care and Urgent Care Centers. The campaign began with King of Prussia Restaurant Week and KOP Shops for CHOP (March 4-15). The event is free and open to the public with a $5 suggested donation per person.

The Block Party for CHOP will take place in Town Center’s green space and along Main Street and will feature:

• Giant blow up games from Pure Fun Entertainment
• LEGO building with LEGOLAND Discovery Center Philadelphia
• Lulu’s Casita’s On Wheels Play Bus
• Crafts with Main Line Art Center
• Charming Garlands balloon house
• Rescue animals from Noah’s Ark Rescue Project and Sanctuary (NARPS)
• Music by Spyder Entertainment and performances by Upper Merion Dance and Gymnastics Center and Valley Forge Dance School
• Raffle of hundreds of dollars in KOP restaurant and retailer gift cards and products, benefiting CHOP
• Plus face painting, balloon art, roaming characters, samples and giveaways, fire trucks…and more!

Over the years, King of Prussia District has grown King of Prussia Restaurant Week and KOP Shops for CHOP into a community-wide fundraiser, which includes raffles, Upper Merion School District involvement, the Block Party for CHOP and a corporate fundraising program. These additional elements have contributed to a steady increase in donation totals each year, from $11,500 in its first year to $76,187 in 2023. In 9 years, this campaign has raised $366,311 for CHOP’s King of Prussia campus. The 2024 total will be revealed in May at a check presentation ceremony.
