Fellow Advocate-- We need courageous leaders in these times. And we need to find the joy in the astounding community fighting to end gun violence.

I hope you'll join me next week on Wednesday, April 23rd to celebrate the 38 percent decrease in gun homicides thanks to community violence prevention efforts. To celebrate survivors who share their story through Deadly By Design. And, to honor elected officials like Congresswomen Dean and Scanlon. 

Join us Wednesday, April 23 at 6:00 p.m. for our Annual Keystone Courage Awards, held at Hotel West & Main (23 Fayette St., Conshohocken, PA.)

Sincerely,

Adam

Fellow Advocate,

It’s official: Award season is upon us and this year we’re extending it through April. Mark your calendar for Wednesday, April 23 at 6:00 p.m. for our Annual Keystone Courage Awards, held at Hotel West & Main (23 Fayette St., Conshohocken, PA.)

This year, we are proud to honor Congresswomen Mary Gay Scanlon and Madeleine Dean for their commitment to pushing gun safety legislation at the federal level, Penn Medicine for their partnership and recognition that gun safety is a public health issue, and our Deadly by Design storytellers for sharing their personal stories of gun violence and the gaps in our gun safety system. 

Will you help us honor our gun safety heroes by joining us for this magnificent event? Tickets are available on a sliding scale, and sponsors pledged by April 18 will get a special shout-out. Hors d'oeuvres, drinks, and a delicious dinner will be served.

For over twenty years, CeaseFirePA has brought Pennsylvanians together for a singular purpose: to end gun violence in our Commonwealth. Fortunately, we’ve never had to go it alone. Our annual Keystone Courage Awards gives us the chance to come together and celebrate our inspiring partners in this work. 

This star-studded event is a perfect opportunity to personally thank our awardees, meet with other gun safety advocates, and celebrate our incredible wins over the past year. So, I’m asking you again: Will you join us at the 2025 Keystone Courage Awards on April 23 in Conshy?

Looking forward to it,

Adam Garber
Executive Director
CeaseFirePA
