Brave sliders take the plunge into 1,000 gallons of gelatin at the 25th Annual Gelatin Olympics, which raised $45,000 to support the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and other local area hospitals. The $2.2 billion American Heritage Credit Union in Philadelphia and its Kids-N-Hope Foundation raised $45,000 through its 25th Annual Gelatin Olympics on Wednesday, June 13, 2018. More than ­100 sliders gathered pledges from sponsors in the weeks leading up to the event, dressed up in their wildest costumes and took the plunge into a pool full of 1,000 gallons of bright red gelatin to support the foundation. In addition to the ultimate gelatin slide, children of all ages participated in the gelatin eating contest, balloon toss contest, gelatin seek and find, and other fun games. The Kids-N-Hope Foundation raises money to support child life services, specifically music therapy at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and other local hospitals within American Heritage's Workplace Partnership Program.
