On Friday, November 11th about 50 of AHA's finest athletes gathered at Council Rock South High School for an evening of Football Fun!
Surrounded by just as many volunteers from several of AHA's participating schools including CR North, Pennsbury, Archbishop Ryan and Archbishop Wood the athletes participated in many events to advance their football pedigree such as passing, kicking, punting and tackling. A great time was had by everyone in attendance!

10th Annual AHA Benefit Golf Outing 10-23-2011
OK... Who made a deal with the devil?
Someone must have, because we're getting way too lucky with the weather! Again, pouring rain for days only to stop 2 days before the outing and to reveal gorgeous, warm blue skies with some difficult (but not muddy) fairways and greens.
We, again, had another sellout crowd of 136 golfers at Five Ponds Golf Course in Warminster, PA and would like to say THANK YOU!!! to all of the sponsors, golfers and to Five Ponds for a great day! We're looking forward to our 2012 Golf Outing... typically when the Eagles have their first bye week. So, keep your eye on their calendar!

1st Annual Soccer Fun Day 10-16-2011
On Sunday, October 16th over 50 kids joined the men and women's teams from CR North and South, Archbishop Wood and Pennsbury at Archbishop Ryan High School at Athlete Helping Athlete's first Soccer Fun Day!
The tri-captains of Archbishop Ryan's ladies' soccer team did an absolutely wonderful job of organizing this event - from planning the stations for all of the athletes, getting sponsors and t-shirts made and setting up a lunch for everyone involved after the event was complete! A very heartfelt and special thank you goes out to you and your teammates for all of the hard work and compassion.
There was rain, wind, and 40-degree temperatures for days all leading up to AHA's first dip into having a 5k. Everyone was tense. But then, the skies all cleared and sun shined brightly to reveal a beautiful and warm fall day where over 200 people came by Tyler State Park in Richboro, PA to participate in the Great Strides 5k Run & 1 Mile Walk!
Again, volunteers from many of our participating schools stopped by to help out and there were many familiar faces out to enjoy a beautiful walk or test themselves against the steep hills of the 5k course.
As one of our few fundraisers throughout the year, we'd like to say THANK YOU to each and every one of you for everything that you do for creating a world of broader acceptance for all.

Archbishop Ryan Car Wash 06-18-2011
The Ladies Basketball Team of Archbishop Ryan held a car wash that benefited Athletes Helping Athletes on Saturday, June 18th and raised $529.47!!!
We would like to say THANK YOU to Coach Hartzell and her team for taking time out to think about others. What a great thing to do. We are so lucky to have you on our team!
We'd also like to thank Washington Savings Bank for their generosity in allowing the use of their facilities for the day.
On Saturday, May 7th at the Northampton Tennis & Fitness Club, AHA held our 2nd Annual Tennis Fun Night.
We would like to thank the Council Rock North Girls' and Boys' Tennis Teams for volunteering their time to teach our Athletes how to play tennis! It was an awesome night and a fine end to our 2010-2011 School Year of Events!!!
We would especially like to thank Council Rock North's Tennis Coach Paul Wysocki, Athletics Director Dan Greisbaum, Greg Parker and all of the student volunteers for coming out and making the night so special for all of our athletes.

Basketball Fun Night 04-11-2011
Wow. What a wonderful night. Our biggest event to date. We had more than 70 players and 100 volunteers. Yes, you read that right: ONE HUNDRED. That is more than one volunteer for every particpant. There aren't many organizations that are lucky enough to say that they are flooded with people that want to help out... But, wow, thank you.
With the help from the coaches and players from the men's and women's teams from 5 local high schools (including Council Rock North and South, Neshaminy, Archbishop Wood and Archbishop Ryan) the players ran through 10 stations of fun and drills for 90 minutes.
Afterwards, each athlete received a medal and was presented with (through the extremely generous donation from Wilson) a brand new basketball by one of our wonderful volunteers.
Thank you to one and all for a fabulous night.
Please check out our Facebook Photo Gallery to see all of the photos from this wonderful event.
Suburban One Sports was there to document the event. They were overly kind in their words and actions: taking pictures and wrote an article about the evening. They even turned the photos into a video - all of which you can find here:
