Funds raised help Global Philadelphia Association continue its work on the World Heritage City Project and
its four critical initiatives of the GPA mission: education, preservation, building awareness and extending our global reach.
This year, the Global Philadelphia Association supported our World Heritage Partners in Ukraine, home to seven World Heritage Sites. We pledged to support the World Heritage City of Lviv by donating 10% of net proceeds from the 2022 World Heritage City Celebration.
