In partnership with celebrity and philanthropist Dave Burd (aka Lil Dicky), our family of donors gave more than $21,000 in the weeks leading up to Giving Tuesday. This funding supported Philly FUNDamentals projects ranging from science kits to literacy programming to outdoor classroom essentials at 7 School District of Philadelphia public schools.
With the help of Dave Burd’s generous challenge match, kids at George Nebinger Elementary received enhanced literacy instruction; the Kirkbride School raised crucial dollars to transform a seldom-used patio into an outdoor learning space; children at Kenderton Elementary earned enough to plant their own community garden; and Masterman secondary schoolers raised money to participate in the Model UN; among other impacts.
