The Pelham Civic Association and the Junior League of Pelham are proud to host Pelham250: Stars, Stripes and a Revolutionary Night - A Salute to the Spirit of Pelham on Saturday, October 17 at the New York Athletic Club – Travers Island.
Expect a festive atmosphere with premium entertainment–including a firework display–celebrating our Town’s history while supporting two of Pelham’s most active volunteer, charitable organizations.
The event is part of the Pelham250 commemoration, marking the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Pelham, a significant Revolutionary War engagement fought on October 18, 1776, on Prospect Hill and in what is now Pelham Bay Park. The battle is remembered as an important moment of resistance that slowed British forces and demonstrated the resolve of the Continental Army.
Proceeds from Pelham250 will support community-focused programs and initiatives led by both organizations. These efforts continue their shared commitment to civic engagement and community impact.
Early bird tickets are on sale now for $200 through July 4; prices increase to $225 beginning July 5.

About
Key Pelham Civic Association projects include the Good Neighbor Program–each holiday season, more than 150 dinners and gifts are delivered to families and children in need. Year-round they quietly provide advice, support, and economic assistance to those with economic hardship. The Help a Child, Change a Life Program assists Pelham’s Elementary Schools, Middle School and High School students from financially struggling families with learning tools, skill enhancement and social support programs. For the younger children in the community, we run the annual Pelham Civics Olympics and for the high school students, we give away $38,000 annually in scholarships to outstanding students who volunteer their time and effort for the community, in addition to running Career Workshops for juniors and seniors. For the Pelham Senior Club, they provide social programs, such as trips to see shows, and lunches throughout the year. They also support the Mentally & Physically Challenged with Special Needs through various programs. Other successful and impactful programs, projects and events include the Pelham Half Marathon & 10K, Memorial Day Parade, a Fall Gala to honor exemplary volunteers, and a Benefit Golf Outing.
The Junior League of Pelham’s current signature project is the restoration and expansion of Woodland Park on Wolfs Lane in the Village of Pelham. The first phase of the project included the restoration of existing play structures; the installation of new equipment, including more ADA accessible play options; and, the creation of a butterfly garden. The League has also committed to installing ADA accessible pathways, creating a gathering space geared towards middle- and high school-aged children and expanding sustainability features. Additional programs include the League’s longstanding Ending Hunger project, which focuses on addressing food insecurity in Pelham and its surrounding communities in partnership with local nonprofits and food banks; the Sustainability Project, which works with local organizations on sustainability initiatives and works within the League to ensure eco-friendly practices; and, the League’s annual Community Grant program, which awards thousands of dollars each year to deserving organizations and students in Pelham and delivers enrichment programming to PMHS students. The League also convenes an annual Community Roundtable event that brings together leaders and community members on pressing issues from a hyper-local lens.
