Tribute Garden Will Honor Spirit of Philly Woman

Bryn Mawr, PA – October 6--A groundbreaking ceremony for an enduring memorial to honor the spirit of the late Sachiko “Sachi” Mallach, former Vice President of Advancement at Harcum College, will be held on Friday, October 7 at 7 p.m. in front of Bedford Hall on the Bryn Mawr Campus of Harcum College.

Mallach passed away on July 1, 2015, at age 42, following a five-year battle with cancer. She was instrumental in raising funds for capital improvements to the Kevin D. Marlo Little Theatre and the Charles H. Trout Library. Her professional life was characterized by making a difference through action. She resided in West Chester, Chester County, PA.
The late Ms. Mallach’s husband Dan Mallach of West Chester, who is a landscape architect, collaborated with members of the Harcum community on the design of a garden space filled with seating and landscaping, for contemplation as well as conversation.
"Sachi's dedicated service to Harcum might not be the longest thread in the tapestry of our history, but it would certainly be one of the brightest," said President Jon Jay DeTemple.
The College is accepting gifts to the memorial, which will help beautify our campus as well as support the educational mission of the College since overflow funds will be allocated towards the Harcum Scholarship Fund at Harcum.edu/garden.
