The Casey Feldman Memorial Foundation provides financial support to individuals, groups, and institutions whose interests and goals align with those of Casey.
It was another great year of service on Casey’s 6th “angelversary” at Magee Rehabilitation Hospital in Philadelphia with approximately 35 or so supporters. Our Casey Feldman Foundation volunteers performed chores such as gardening, outdoor cleanup, washing the Magee vans and doing paperwork. A lunchtime ceremony followed with Casey’s parents, Joel and Dianne highlighting some of the Foundation’s work and Magee’s Mark Chilutti explaining the future expansion project for the patient therapy center. In addition, occupational therapist Christine Reinheimer provided the volunteers with a demonstration of just how significant the Casey Foundation’s sponsored facility dog, Joey, has made in the lives of patients.

This year’s day of service for Casey Feldman’s fifth “Angelversary” will take place at Magee Rehabilitation Hospital, 1513 Race Street, Philadelphia, PA 19102 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. It has become an annual event on the anniversary of Casey’s death to perform a day of service in her honor and memory. Since Casey was an animal lover and animal rights advocate, the service thus far has included this aspect of her many passions.
Last year, the Casey Feldman Foundation, together with Anapol Schwartz (Casey’s dad, Joel’s law firm), sponsored Magee’s second therapy dog, Joey, a Labrador Retriever/ Golden Retriever mix (View the photos from the 2013 Day of Service and the video below). “Anapol Schwartz has supported so many of our activities following Casey’s death and we are so appreciative of that support”, said Joel.
Through Magee’s Facility Dog program, Joey works alongside trained health and human service professionals to support patients in their therapy and facilitate the rehabilitation process. This program will be recognized as part of the Casey Feldman Memorial Foundation’s fifth annual “Angelversary” Day of Service.
Family, friends and supporters of Casey and the Casey Feldman Memorial Foundation are invited to provide a few hours of service at Magee and watch Joey in action as he leads patients in therapy sessions. Service projects for the morning include filing, gardening, cleaning the parking lot and cleaning windows. A lunch time ceremony will take place at 12:30 pm and the day will conclude at 2:00 pm.
