Frances M. Sheehan is the first President of Delaware County’s largest philanthropy, The Foundation for Delaware County, an independent public foundation formed from the sale of the Crozer-Keystone Health System on July 1, 2016. Sheehan came to the foundation in January, 2017, after serving as the founding President and CEO of the Brandywine Health Foundation in Coatesville, Chester County for 15 years.
Frances Sheehan of The Foundation for Delaware County believes it makes complete sense that Gritty's backstory has him coming from Delco. The mascot's can-do, get-the-job-done attitude exemplifies the nonprofits the foundation funds, she says.
