The Silvi Foundation celebrated its first major milestone during Silvi Materials’ annual company picnic at Lincoln Financial Field, bringing together employees, families, and partners for a day centered on community and connection. The event also served as the Foundation’s public introduction to the Silvi community.

This year’s picnic featured a special appearance by Cooper DeJean, who met with attendees, took photos, and helped make the day memorable for employees and their families. His participation added excitement to an already meaningful gathering.

The kickoff event provided an opportunity to share the purpose of the Silvi Foundation and the family story behind it. Many employees have personal connections to neurodegenerative diseases, and the picnic created a natural space for conversation, reflection, and shared commitment. The Foundation’s mission—to support research and programs that improve outcomes for individuals and families affected by these conditions—resonated strongly across the Silvi community. The Foundation extends its appreciation to everyone who attended and contributed to the event’s success. We look forward to future opportunities to bring our community together and highlight the important work the Foundation supports.
