The Phillie Phanatic paid a surprise visit to the residents of Neshaminy Manor on December 7th, thanks to locally-headquartered nonprofit Twilight Wish Foundation.
Three of the residents there turned 103 this year and Neshaminy Manor wanted to celebrate their milestone birthdays in a big way!
Esther Welch, Emma Ventresca and Ann Nieswander are all Phillies fans. Welch, especially, is a lifelong fan who still watches every game!
