PHILADELPHIA BUSINESS JOURNAL RECOGNIZES HELP HOPE LIVE AND PRELUDE SOLUTIONS AS IMPACTFUL PARTNERS
April 10 Event and April 11 Journal Edition Will Honor Hope & Impact
RADNOR, Pa.—On April 10, Help Hope Live and Prelude Solutions will be recognized by the Philadelphia Business Journal as a 2025 Partners in Philanthropy honoree pairing. The honor reflects how the for-profit and nonprofit partnership has made an impact on the Greater Philadelphia community through a special Bags of Hope initiative and annual fundraising events to benefit the nonprofit’s mission.
In addition to an in-person recognition event on April 10 at Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History, the partnership will be profiled along with 24 others in a special April 11 edition of the Philadelphia Business Journal.
Women-owned technology consulting firm Prelude Solutions began partnering with Help Hope Live in 2021 after meeting members of the nonprofit’s leadership team at a local networking event for businesses and charities. During that first year, Prelude sponsored two annual fundraising events—the Live It Up! gala and the Hope Travels 5K—to help fuel the national nonprofit’s mission: to alleviate the burden of medical debt through trusted medical fundraising campaigns.
Over the past four years, Prelude has renewed their commitment to sponsoring Help Hope Live events—but the team has also taken their involvement a step further by directly participating in a one-of-a-kind annual initiative.
“Bags of Hope” was established by the Help Hope Live team in 2018 to bring a small dose of hope to Philadelphia patients facing hospitalization over the holidays through purchasing, assembling, and delivering bags of comfort and care items.
The Prelude team gathered to participate at their offices with a little help from service dog, Rascal—and they contributed to more than 200 Bags of Hope delivered to local hospitals and rehabilitation centers over the 2024 holiday season.
“Prelude’s partnership with us truly transforms hope into action,” explained Kelly L. Green, Executive Director for Help Hope Live. “Partners like Prelude allow us to provide free medical fundraising assistance that impacts thousands of lives every year, within our community and beyond. It is so uplifting.”
As Cate Heaman, CEO and Founder of Prelude Solutions, explained, “We’re proud to support such a vital organization. The impact of Help Hope Live extends far beyond financial aid—they offer hope, empowerment, and a renewed sense of possibility.”
