Activate Phoenixville Area High School President Honored for Service

Activate Phoenixville Area is so proud and honored to have our Steering Committee member, Annie Rubino of Phoenixville Area High School, selected for the prestigious Youth Philanthropy: Legacy Award from the Chester County Community Foundation. Annie was selected for the award for her community service work. In addition to being on the APA Steering Committee, she also founded the Activate Phoenixville Area High School student club which has mobilized high school students to get involved with community wellness.

This award came with a $500.00 award, and Annie selected Activate Phoenixville Area to e the receipt of that donation. During her acceptance speech, Annie mentioned that her work with APA has changed her life and is the unsung hero of the Phoenixville community.

APA shares Annie’s hope that this prestigious award can serve as an inspiration to other young people that living a healthy life has many rewards.  We also hope it helps to encourage people – both young and old - who care about fitness, nutrition and wellness to get involved with the Phoenixville community.

Congratulations, Annie! We are so proud of you!
