In her book Thinking in Bets, Annie Duke writes about decision-making in uncertainty. She explains how even the best decisions, made with the information we have at hand, don’t always lead to the outcomes we hope for. Life, after all, is unpredictable—but over time, enough wise, informed choices stack up to create the best possible results.
This resonates deeply with the work we do at Family Service of Chester County. Every day we help individuals and families make decisions to build brighter futures. A parent chooses counseling to strengthen their family. A young person commits to change, choosing hope over despair. These choices don’t always immediately yield the outcomes we all hope for, but together, step by step, they add up to remarkable transformations.
To celebrate this spirit of wise decision-making, we’re hosting our Annual Charity Poker Event on February 23rd at the West Chester Golf and Country Club. It’s an afternoon of strategy, skill, and a little luck—just like life itself. Proceeds from this event will directly support our counseling programs. Whether you’re a poker pro or just enjoy a good game, your participation will help us make life-changing impacts for those in need. You can register here.
Mark your calendars and join us for an afternoon where every play supports brighter futures! Thank you for being a part of this journey. Your continued generosity helps us empower others to make the choices that create hope, healing, and opportunity.
Stay safe,
Mark Butler, MS
Executive Director
