Woods Services, a nonprofit organization that provides care for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, autism, and emotional/behavioral challenges, has a fun morning planned on Sunday, May 7, 2023, for runners, walkers, and rollers of all abilities participating in the 2023 Run for Woods 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run presented by Faulkner-Ciocca Dealerships. The festivities, which include an appearance by a Philadelphia sports team’s fan-favorite mascot, kick off with an opening ceremony at 8:45 a.m., followed by the 5K at 9:00 a.m., and the 1-Mile Fun Run at 9:10 a.m. Participants meet at 10 Meadowood Drive in Langhorne, and run, roll, and stroll through the scenic trails at Woods Services. The registration fee is $45 and participants can register at RunForWoods.org. This is the ninth year for the event. New this year is the Sunday date; Run for Woods has previously been held on Saturday.

 

During the opening ceremony, Woods President and CEO Tine Hansen-Turton will honor a Bucks County police officer who has had a significant impact on improving the quality of life for people with disabilities and challenges.

 

“We are immensely grateful to our sponsors, team leaders, runners, rollers, walkers, Bucks County neighbors, and our Woods families and friends for their outpouring of support for the 9th annual Run for Woods,” Hansen-Turton said. “Their participation helps Woods Services provide exceptional educational, vocational, and recreational opportunities that enrich lives and increase independence. We are also pleased to honor a Bucks County community member and recognize the positive impact they are making in the lives of the children, adolescents, and adults Woods serves.”

 

Run for Woods has already raised $235,000 of its $250,000 goal from 53 sponsors in Bucks County and the Greater Philadelphia community, more than a dozen race fundraising teams, and individual participants. Funds will support Woods Services in its mission to provide innovative, comprehensive, and integrated healthcare, education, housing, vocational, behavioral health, and case management services to children, adolescents, and adults who have intellectual and developmental disability and mental health challenges who have complex and intensive medical and behavioral healthcare needs.

 

Prizes will be awarded to the top male and female finishers in each age category. With the $45 registration fee, all participants will receive an official race t-shirt, race medal, and will have an opportunity to enjoy other event amenities including Rita’s Water Ice. Participants, community members and businesses are also invited to underwrite participation for a Woods resident and their support staff member with a donation of $90. They are encouraged to share photos and videos with the Woods community and family and friends using #RunForWoods on social media. For more information, visit RunForWoods.org, where you can also view a Run for Woods video.

About Woods Services

Woods Services is a nonprofit organization that supports children, adolescents, and adults with complex medical and behavioral health care needs, including intellectual and developmental disabilities, to achieve their highest potential and independence through innovative and individualized approaches that promote learning and personal fulfillment. Woods’ vision is a world where individuals have opportunities and supports that promote self-determination, dignity, respect, the joy of achievement, and a fulfilling life. Woods achieves this vision by providing comprehensive and integrated healthcare, education, housing, vocational, behavioral health, and case management services, along with a population health management strategy that includes the integration of primary and specialty medical care with behavioral health. More than 600 individuals from 23 states and 175 school districts are supported by Woods and its 1,500 staff at its Langhorne, Pennsylvania headquarters.

 

To ensure lifelong care and supports for the individuals its serves, Woods created the Woods System of Care – a network of affiliate organizations located in Pennsylvania and New Jersey that includes Abilities of Northwest Jersey; Allies, Inc.; Archway Programs; Legacy Treatment Services; Tabor Services; and Woods Community at Brian’s House. Through this collaboration, the Woods System of Care provides lifelong care and supports to individuals in the intellectual and developmental disability and mental health public health sectors who have complex medical and behavioral health care needs.

 

Founded in 1913 by Philadelphia schoolteacher Mollie Woods to advance the quality of life and standard of care for individuals with disabilities, Woods continues this mission today. For more information, visit woods.org.

The 2022 Woods Golf Classic

After 10 years, the return of the Woods Golf Classic is one to be remembered and celebrated!

 

It was a day of sunshine, games, great food and spirits shared by so many of Woods Services’ sponsors, colleagues, family & friends.

 

The Union League Liberty Hill Club hosted over 100 golfers all for the benefit of our clients.

 

A total of 45 sponsors and donors raised over $130,000 to help improve the lives of those we serve with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

 

Our friend and sponsor, Brian from Selective Insurance of America shared these kind words about the event: “We had a great time Tuesday at the outing, everything was terrific from start to finish! We are looking forward to next year! The forecaddie was a very nice touch and we thank you for the gesture, it made the day that much more special. Thank you for the opportunity to play in the tournament and raising money for a great cause!”

 

You can swing by our website to catch the excitement of the day through our photo gallery. Go to woods.org/golf22

 

Be sure not to miss next year’s event. See you at the 2023 Woods Golf Classic!

“One Woods. One World. Day” Begins with American Red Cross Proclamation and “Cards For Peace” Campaign

November 19, 2021


How diverse is Woods? Our staff comes from more than 50 countries. On October 25, the Monday following United Nations Day, Woods recognized the value of cultural differences and the wealth of it we enjoy. We named this celebration “One Woods. One World.” day to honor the diversity of our staff and commemorate United Nations Day.

 

The morning began with Woods employees and residents gathered at Common Grounds to commemorate the day. The American Red Cross of Southeastern Pennsylvania, staff from Pennsylvania State Representative Frank Farry and State Senator Robert “Tommy” Tomlinson’s offices, and 6abc joined us.

 

Woods President and CEO Tine Hansen-Turton opened the event by introducing the audience to our Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion committee, formed to ensure every person in our Woods community is recognized and heard. As part of the event, we wanted to grow awareness amongst staff of the work of the EDI committee and opportunities for participation.

 

Hansen-Turton announced that the hanging of flags of more than 50 countries representing the birthplaces of our staff was finished.  You can drive on any part of Woods’ campus and see the flags flying.   Our EDI committee made this possible.

 

Regional Chief Executive Officer Guy Triano of the American Red Cross of Southeastern Pennsylvania took the stage next. He read aloud a proclamation that highlighted the importance of United Nations Day, explained the shared values of Woods and the Red Cross, and recognized “One Woods. One World.” day.

 

“We talked about this a few months ago – this idea of bringing these two organizations together,” Triano said. “They both celebrate humanity, volunteerism, and unity together. Our organizations align, and that’s very important to the Red Cross.”

 

“At the core of our mission is an understanding that every individual is exceptional,” Hansen-Turton said.

 

As the event concluded, Woods and the Red Cross launched a community volunteering campaign, “Cards for Peace” where everyone is encouraged to write a letter of gratitude for veterans and peacekeeping troops.

 

Here’s how you can contribute:

 

  1. Create a card appreciating military service
  2. Send that card to:

Woods Services

c/o Communications Office

P.O. Box 36

Langhorne, PA 19047-0036

  1. Call Cheryl Kauffman at 215-750-4255 with any questions!

 

From there, Woods will make a bulk delivery to those abroad and the Coatesville VA Medical Center.

 

“We are so proud of Woods, and this doesn’t get said enough,” said Ryan Skoczylas, Chief of Staff for Senator Tomlinson. “When we’re in Harrisburg, we’re proud to talk about Woods.”
