Membership
in the Polish Heritage Society of Philadelphia

 The Polish Heritage Society of Philadelphia (PHSP) was founded in 1964 to promote Polish culture, customs and history in the Philadelphia area. Over the years it has established an annual Chopin Concert. It has staged an art competition, given out scholarships and arranged exhibitions of Polish posters. The organization holds an annual Poloniaise Ball to raise money for its scholarship fund. Among its activities is the placement of Historic Markers, devoted to persons of Polish background and approved by the Pennsylvania Historical Commission. Markers have included: bridge engineer Ralph Modjeski (2007), helicopter innovator Frank Piasecki (2010), and biomedical engineer Walter Golaski (2014). In 2022 the PHMC approved a marker for Philadelphia frozen food entrepreneur and Polonia supporter Edward Piszek (a.k.a. the "Fishcake King") which will be installed during 2025 near his former home.
