Lenape Foundation Golf Outing Raises $62K For New Crisis Center

DOYLESTOWN, PA — Lenape Valley Foundation (LVF) hosted its 16th annual Golf Outing in June at the Doylestown Country Club in Doylestown.

Co-chaired by LVF board members Robert Marchand of Warwick and Joseph Nolan of Naples, Florida (formerly of New Britain), the outing raised more than $62,000 and attracted 122 golfers. Proceeds will support the opening of Bright Path Center, a new behavioral health crisis center opening in Doylestown in 2026.

The first of its kind in Pennsylvania, Bright Path Center will unite an array of behavioral health crisis services under one roof, delivering acute, trauma-informed, person-centered care in a calming environment.

Experienced behavioral health professionals will be on-site around the clock to welcome, assess, and stabilize those experiencing urgent challenges related to mental health, drug and alcohol use, and/or intellectual disabilities.

With separate spaces for children and adults, Bright Path Center is specially designed to offer compassionate care to individuals and families to de-escalate a critical situation and determine the best path forward to hope and healing.

For more than 65 years, LVF has provided compassionate assistance and hope to thousands of children, adults, and families in Bucks County. LVF offers a comprehensive behavioral health system serving individuals within the service areas of mental health, intellectual disabilities, and early intervention.

The foundation’s mission is to partner with members of our community encountering mental health, substance use, intellectual or developmental challenges as they pursue their personal aspirations and an enhanced quality of life.
