Pro Football Hall of Fame coach Dick Vermeil joined local business leaders and community partners at the Corporate Sponsor Reception on March 31 at the offices of Brumbaugh Wealth Management, located in Eagleview Corporate Center. The reception was held in appreciation of sponsors supporting the 2026 Chester County United Way Golf Classic, which will take place on April 27 at Penn Oaks Golf Club. The evening featured networking, hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and a special opportunity for sponsors to meet Coach Vermeil during a 75-minute reception designed to celebrate the partnerships that help strengthen the Chester County community.

Vermeil, a beloved figure in the Philadelphia sports community, built a legendary career in the National Football League. As head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, he led the team to the Super Bowl following the 1980 season. Over a 15-year NFL coaching career, Vermeil also led the St. Louis Rams to victory in Super Bowl XXXIV and guided the Kansas City Chiefs to an AFC West title. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2022 and is widely respected for his passionate leadership, integrity, and ongoing commitment to philanthropy and youth-focused initiatives.

“Having Coach Vermeil join us for this special reception was an incredible opportunity for our sponsors and supporters,” said Christina Wagoner, senior vice president of financial development at Chester County United Way. “His leadership, dedication to community service, and strong connection to the Philadelphia region made him the perfect guest to help us kick off this year’s Golf Classic. We are grateful for the partners who make this event—and the work we do across Chester County—possible.”
