Recognition
Reception Honoree Philip "Butch" Beal is an icon in the Abington community. From ACT's inception "Butch" has played a major part in various activities among its members. At a young age, Butch was inspired by the coaches and volunteers of the Glenside Youth Athletic Club. Their devotion spawned in his young mind an idea of service, which has grown to this day. Currently owner of Casual Catering, he has provided food to the Abington 24-Hour Relay Challenge and for a myriad of Police and School District activities. In turn, his contributions have led to invitations to participate on the Board of Directors for D.A.R.E., the 24-Hour Relay Challenge, C.A.P.T., the Glenside Chamber of Commerce, and the Abington Civil Service Commission, among many others. The list of honors and awards bestowed upon Butch is virtually endless and includes the 2000 Making A Difference Golden Heart Award, the 1999 Pennsylvania Judiciary Award from Pennsylvania Courts, the 1996 24-Hour Relay Challenge Distinguished Service Award, and the 1995 Inter-Service Award for Distinguished Community Service. Beyond the Abington-Rockledge community, Butch has tallied an equally impressive array of awards in Cheltenham Township, Eastern Montgomery County, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Bishop McDevitt Alumni Hall of Fame proudly lists him as a member. His aspirations are for a safe, drug-free community where all can live in harmony. He never said "no" to any activity that leads to the improvement of the quality of life for all citizens but especially for our young people. Butch lives with his wife Karen and children Philip, Sean, Jimmy, and Katie. In his relaxation time he enjoys their company, travel, and sports activities.
