Benchmark Federal Credit Union is proud to be named the Title Sponsor of the 225th Birthday Parade to be held by the Borough of West Chester on Sunday, April 21, 2024, beginning at 1pm.
West Chester’s 225th Birthday Parade will feature a colorful display of floats showcasing the heritage of West Chester, as marching bands fill the streets with spirited melodies. Community groups, local businesses, and other organizations will display their West Chester pride with festive decorations, balloons, and plenty of birthday cheer.
“We’re ready to make history together, as we commemorate 225 years of West Chester borough during a day that is sure to create lasting memories for years to come,” said Daniel J. Machon, Jr., President and CEO of Benchmark Federal Credit Union, the only federal credit union to serve Chester County exclusively.
Incorporated in 1799, the historic streets of West Chester are filled with more than 75 restaurants and 65 boutiques that prompted the Philadelphia Inquirer to call West Chester “one of the world’s most perfect small towns.” The borough’s growing population of nearly 64,000 people is in the heart of the Brandywine Valley, just 45 minutes from Center City Philadelphia and 30 minutes from Wilmington.
Volunteer opportunities and sponsorships are available. For more information, visit the WC 225th Birthday Parade website or contact the Borough of West Chester Parks and Recreation at 610-436-9010 or via email: parksandrecreation@west-chester.com.
