10,000 Friends will celebrate the transformational impact of visionary individuals and organizations working collaboratively and courageously to employ long term investment strategies for redevelopment. The Bethlehem story sends a message of inspiration to other Pennsylvania cities that public / private partnerships can drive sustainable change. 

Bethlehem has benefited from the foresight of many civic and business leaders, dating back to the historic 1959 six-month steel strike. There is a spirit of grit and resilience underlying the city’s redevelopment.  Growth and revitalization are apparent throughout the City, but none more so than in the soaring glory of the SteelStacks campus.

We are honored to present the 2018 Commonwealth Awards to these stellar individuals and catalytic projects that led the way to change in the City of Bethlehem:

Jeff Parks, Founder of ArtsQuest
Joanne Denworth Founder’s Award

Mike Perrucci, Cofounder and Partner of Peron Development
Louis J. Appell Leadership Award

Tony Hanna, Director of Redevelopment Authority for the City of Bethlehem
Public Sector Excellence Award

John Callahan, Former Mayor of Bethlehem
Mark Schneider Friend of PA Award
