The John Updike Society has just received a $10,000 donation from The PECO Foundation of New York, N.Y. to “help support the John Updike Society’s project to preserve the Updike family house.”

The foundation’s support has been crucial in past years, and this year, as the society tries to bring the interior/exterior restoration to a close, their donation is much needed and much appreciated.

The PECO Foundation provides gifts, grants, or loans to other organizations and has supported The John Updike Society’s house project since 2012.
