Our Annual Event’s Success
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our annual event with so many special guests from our Pennsylvania General Assembly. We had a record-breaking attendance last month with 140 attendees. In January, largely due to this event, the Pennsylvania Future Fund was able to collect over $304,000 in donations. Your contributions will be put to good use, with pledges from the PAC to contribute $100,000 to both the House and Senate for various races for key seats. We would not have been able to reach this goal without the support of all of our donors, so that you for coming out and making our event one to remember!

Thank You.
I wanted to take this space to extend a genuine thank you to all of our members. The Pennsylvania Future Fund relies on its members to keep this PAC going. The Future Fund is currently as strong as ever and was proud to close out the year on a high note. The members worked tirelessly throughout the elections this year all over the state. Many candidates, organizations, and Republican committees benefited from the contributions that our members have made. It’s not just about the money, however…I have heard many stories of our members getting out and volunteering for countless campaigns. It is so important to me to be a part of an organization that knows how far contributions and hard work can go for a candidate.
The Future Fund is only as good as its members and I believe that we have the best members in the state. The Board is comprised of some of the strongest political thinkers in the state and I am honored to work with them.
On that note I’d like to a moment to remind you to mark your calendars for our Annual Reception on January 29th at the Union League in Philadelphia. This is the one fundraiser of the year, I hope you’ll consider attending.
I want to wish everyone a wonderful holiday and a safe and healthy New Year. I am looking forward to keeping this momentum going in 2020.

Contributions
The Pennsylvania Future Fund is proud to report to its members that we have contributed over $225,000 so far this year to the statewide Republican candidates in Pennsylvania. It is so important to support these candidates as they attempt to enter office to fight for the same values we all share. This would not have been possible without the support of our members. It is integral to remain focused on the primary this Spring. Please check out this month’s Spotlight to meet some of these candidates.
Top 10 PAC List
The Pennsylvania Future Fund has been in the top ten overall statewide PACs since its inception in 2001. Among the others on the list, The Future Fund stands out as the only pro-growth and non-association committee on the list. This is a major accomplishment that the Board is incredibly proud to maintain. We could not do this without the support of our illustrious members who have a major help in moving the Future Fund higher on the list.
