Help underserved youth attend MoveMakers Philly!
Help MoveMakers Philly and Urban Movement Arts raise $7,000 for offering summer camp scholarships and providing resources for underserved youth in Philadelphia!
We are thrilled to be entering our 3rd year of providing scholarships to MoveMakers Philly summer camp.
Our summer camp scholarship program has had many strong impacts on recipients. Families have expressed to our team their appreciation for MoveMakers providing a safe and enriching place for their children to be during the summer. The kids that have come to MoveMakers on scholarship connect very closely to our teachers and counselors. Many of the students and families stay connected with us through the school year.
Strong adult role models and positive environments are critical for children. MoveMakers is passionately committed to expanding its high level enrichment and services to families that are underserved.
Your donations are truly put to work with our company. We bust a move to give back to communities that are often overlooked and do not have access to the best quality of recreation and enrichment.
Give to I Am The Move and power MoveMakers to continue to build lasting relationships with families that wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity without your support.
