Montgomery Co. Woman Wins $10,000 For Charity

AMBLER, PA — An Ambler woman has won $10,000 for charity after being named the winner of a local award organized by Santander Bank and the Philadelphia Eagles.

Ambler's Anne Keenan was named the top "Community Quarterback" from a group of 10 other winner, each of whom was honored at Eagles games throughout the season and again at a recent reception.

The award was conferred upon 10 "exceptional individuals who exemplify leadership, dedication and commitment to improving the communities where they live." Keenan was selected on Wednesday night as the finalist from that group to receive the $10,000.

"This year’s honorees unequivocally demonstrate the strength and generosity of the Philadelphia community, a sentiment that resounds throughout our organization,” Eagles president Don Smolenski said in a statement. "We salute and congratulate Anne Keenan and all the 2018 Community Quarterbacks for their exemplary leadership, and we would also like to thank Santander for helping us to shine a light on our honorees’ philanthropic achievements."

Keenan was honored for her work with Reading Recycled, a non-profit that works to bring lightly used book donations to needy children.

Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham and former Eagle Jason Avant also attended the event Wednesday.
