The holiday season is set to shine a little brighter as The Salvation Army’s Philadelphia Echelon Chapter ( @salarmyphilly ) invites the community to celebrate, connect, and give back at its Red Kettle Holiday Photo Fundraiser. The event will take place on Saturday, December 13 from 2 to 5 p.m. at ProLens Studio in Philadelphia.

Open to families, friends, and young professionals, the event blends festive fun with meaningful impact. Attendees can drop in for professional holiday photos, enjoy complimentary light bites and beverages, and participate in hands-on activities including ornament-making. A curated holiday playlist and cheerful studio décor will help set the seasonal atmosphere. Pets are welcome to join in for photos as well. Tickets to Red Kettle Holiday Photo Fundraiser can be purchased at give.salvationarmy.org/event/epa-greater-philadelphia-echelons-family-holiday-fundraiser/e744415

All proceeds benefit The Salvation Army’s historic Red Kettle Campaign, which has provided essential support to families in need since 1891. Funds raised during the campaign help sustain year-round programs offering food assistance, shelter, emergency relief, and social services across the region.

Hosted by Echelon, The Salvation Army’s national network of young professionals, the event aims to make charitable giving both accessible and community-driven.

“Echelon’s goal is to make philanthropy fun, social, and accessible,” said Crystal Cuevas, PR Chair for The Salvation Army Echelon Board. “The Red Kettle event is about celebrating the joy of giving back — together.”

ProLens Studio has donated the space for the event, ensuring that more of the proceeds directly support families throughout Greater Philadelphia this winter. taken in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by @echelonphilly

Last week, we teamed up with @jpmorganchase and @stradleyronon for an amazing night focused on building stronger financial foundations and expanding professional networks.

Our panelists — Josué Figueroa, Robert Hughes, and Daisy Gonzalez — shared real, practical advice on budgeting, small business funding, and growing long-term wealth. Big thanks to Ariel Bey for leading such an engaging conversation!

We also kicked off @salvationarmyus’s Back-to-School Drive, collecting school supplies and donations to support students in our community. 🎒📚

Huge thank you to our speakers, partners, and everyone who showed up — your energy made the night a true success!

🏕️ Echelon members from five chapters toured Camp Tecumseh, learned about The Salvation Army’s disaster response, and played disc golf once the skies cleared. Camp Echelon shows how investing in young professionals strengthens the Army’s future. See mission and community in action in our #GoodNews e-Newsletter. #Echelon #CampTecumseh by @echelonphilly

With the recent news about the economy, we all could use little guidance during these turbulent times. To get folks going in the right direction, the young professionals group, @echelonphilly , will be hosting a financial literacy happy hour dubbed “Budgeting to Business: Guide to Financial Freedom” on Wednesday May 14th from 5:30-7:30 pm.

This special happy hour event will feature light bites, drinks, as well as executives from JP Morgan Chase that will touch on topics such as:

How to build a budget (that actually sticks)

Investing 101

Navigating finances as a first-time founder or entrepreneur

“This event came about as we brainstormed fresh ways to engage Philly’s young professionals while giving back. We realized we could build a space for meaningful conversations around money—something we all think about but rarely discuss openly. By combining networking, real financial insight, and an opportunity to support the Salvation Army, we’re creating something that’s impactful and fun,” states Shivani Acharya of JP Morgan Chase.

The first of its kind by both organizations, this literacy happy hour aims to help young professionals build wealth. “Whether you’re just starting out or already building wealth, this event is designed to make your fiance feel more approachable, actionable, and empowering. We want people to walk away with clarity, confidence, and community.” – Crystal Cuevas, PR Chair, Echelon Board

As an added benefit to the community. school supplies will be accepted for entry and will go towards supporting The Salvation Army’s back-to-school drive.
