Donate to Help Underserved Youth
Attend MoveMakers Philly!
It has been a year running for our I Am The Move program. Last summer we provided summer camp scholarships to 25 families living in Philadelphia neighborhoods. In the winter of 2022 we became a Philadelphia School District Strategic Partner, which has resulted in residencies at 3 different Philadelphia Schools in which we serve a total of 140 kids weekly. And we are currently on route to add a 4th before the year ends. The funds raised in our winter campaign have powered us to provide MoveMakers Philly programming weekly to nearly the same amount of children that attend our HQ weekly on a paid membership basis. The children that we are serving via our Strategic Partnership with the Philadelphia School District live in neighborhoods that are under resourced. In a relatively short period of time, MoveMakers Philly and Urban Movement Arts have made significant strides in our mission to support underserved communities. Our year of success is a result of your participation in our fundraising campaigns. We do not plan to stop anytime soon, so we invite you to stay involved in our upcoming projects.
