Remaking Our Communities

The Chestnut St. Playground needs a makeover and an orgnanization has been created to help see that it happens.  Chestnut Street Playground Community CARES is graciously accepting donations and support now through April in hopes of raising $65,000 before breaking ground in early summer.

Chestnut Street Playground Community CARES is engaging the community to re-gentrify a playground in dire need of repair.  The playground has always been and continues to be the gathering place for children and families.  Over time, through heavy use, and with weather wear and tear the need to repair or replace the playground has only grown.

Highlighting the goals Chestnut St. Playground Community CARES is looking to achieve are as follows:
  • Handicap Accessibility: 
    • Adaptive Seats with Belts 5 ft. wide black-top pathways for wheelchair and walker accessibility
  • Safe Equipment:
    • with pour and play matting
  • Learning Integration:
    • Music Maker with drums, rattles, wheels and more encourage learning and intellectual growth.  The play-set includes brail for the blind.  It has also been a wonderful piece for autistic children to participate in the fun.
To help support this great endeavor, many volunteers are going to great lengths to make this vision become reality.  To that end there are many opportunities for the public to participate and support the project, as well as sponsorship's for families or businesses who want to get involved.  

There are many businesses and local community advocates working to create fundraising events.  For a listing of upcoming events please go here. 

Individual donations are also being accepted.

With these tumultuous times we are dealing with and the massive amount of change being undertaken, let's show this world that we can let the Phillies pick us up. Please visit our Sellersville store to see the World Champion Phillies Ornaments on display and for sale. These commemorative ornaments include pictures taken at the Game 5 World Series Clincher against the Ray and those Phillies. There is no better tree ornament this holiday season.

Engraving Services

The business first started as Bux-Mont Awards & Engraving Services and not a lot has changed in the 16+ years we have been in operation.  We added some recognition services here, apparel and promotional products there, but everything is under the recognition umbrella.   We are a recognition company first and foremost.  We are dedicated to the principles of properly recognizing achievements and what goals do ing so accomplishes.  We firmly believe that pe ople thrive in an environment that includes recognition of achievement.  We also believe in the power of corporate apparel as aiding in brand recongition.  We recognize those who have come before us and deserve memorialization.  This is what makes up the Awards and engraving services in our name.  We do all this for you.  We can help many people in many ways, a lot like the engravers who came before us were to their villages and towns.    In these times it is of greater importance to utilize recognition of some form on a daily ba...

Univest Grand Prix

The Univest Grand Prix is being held today. We are happy to say the awards they got were provided by us. This is the first race that we got to be a part of, and it really is an amazing show. I am watching the webstream provided by wfmz69 , and I hear that cycling.tv is going to be streaming the end of the race. There are over 22 reacing teams and 200 riders in this 107 mile race. The announcers do a great job and they really make it easy to understand and follow the sport of cycling. And then we get to watch tomorrows show in Doylestown as well! They talk about dynamics and I have seen a couple crashes, and they just went through Green Lane Park past the Scottish Irish Festival. A really neat way to be a part of the community. And they do it mostly with volunteers. Amazing, and the video is really spectacular. Much thanks to Univest and all the sponsors for providing such a great community event that we can all be proud of.
