Limpert Award Nominations
The Edgewood Foundation is seeking nominations for the William D. Limpert Volunteer Service award. This honor is awarded to an Edgewood resident who selflessly gives of themselves to serve the Edgewood community and its residents.

Gibson, Nevin Rhodes, Susan Bailey, Doris D. Jones, Brian Nogrady, Jay Bush, Dick Monheim, Mary Limpert, Louis Boccio Jr., Dick Lithgow, Tom Herward, Laura Horner, Greer Mulholland, Patrick Doyle, Lois Winslow, Connie Black, Amy Andrews-Hooks, Ruth Pickering McGregor.
Each Winner’s name is listed on a plaque that is displayed in the CC Mellor Memorial Library.
To nominate someone whose community service and spirit of volunteerism is reminiscent of Bill Limpert and the other recipients, email Angel Lehrian angel@lehrian.com. Include the recipients name, any known volunteer activities/why the nominee deserves the award, and your contact information for future follow up. Nominees can not be current members of the Edgewood Foundation Board or current employees of the Edgewood Borough. Deadline is June 1, 2025.
Wine & Chocolate Event 2025
Back by popular demand is The Edgewood Foundation’s Wine and Chocolate! Enjoy wine pairings with gourmet chocolate, try savory appetizers while catching up with friends in the neighborhood, and bid on our silent auction and basket raffles! There is something for everyone at this year’s event. If wine isn’t your thing, we’ll also have beer. If you prefer cheese with your wine instead of chocolate, we’ll have that too! It is a wonderful event that brings our neighbors and friends together. We hope you’ll join us!

EVENT DATE SUBJECT TO CHANGE
Oktoberfest 2024
The Foundation’s Oktoberfest has been held annually since 2011. Typically, about 50-60 Edgewood residents come out to share in brats, beer, and fun in Koenig Field. Don’t forget the pig roast!
Newcomers’ Reception 2024
This event, typically held in the Edgewood Train Station, gives new residents an opportunity to meet with community representatives and other newcomers to learn more about our wonderful neighborhood. We love to host this event for our new residents who are able to learn about our borough and pick up information provided by the Foundation and local businesses.
Sleepover in the Park 2024
The participants are typically age ten and under who, along with their parents, pitch tents and sleep under the stars at Koenig Field. This is a back-to-basics, grassroots event that includes such down-home fun as roasting marshmallows and flashlight tag. In coordination with the Edgewood Police for safety, and the Edgewood Fire Department for our bonfire, it gives our residents a chance to enjoy a simple camping experience without the fuss of going elsewhere. Participants are usually greeted by donuts, juice, and coffee as they wake up the next morning in the cold fall air. This easy low-key event serves to build friendships and foster community spirit in Edgewood.
Community Day 2024
Edgewood Borough, along with the Edgewood Foundation, invites our friends and neighbors to Koenig Field for the return of Community Day! We'll have music, food, an artist market, family-friendly activities, and of course, we'll end the day with fireworks!
