Philadelphia Cares Day Serve-A-Thon

Posted by on September 17, 2004

On October 2nd, join Greater Philadelphia Cares, in partnership with the School District of Philadelphia, as we host the 11th annual Philadelphia Cares Day Serve-a-thon, a marathon day of service that gives our children more attractive and more functional learning environments. 150 schools will benefit from fresh coats of paint, refurbished libraries, landscaped green spaces, restored playground equipment, and much more. As one of 12,000 volunteers, you will help contribute 60,000 volunteer hours in just one day!

This serve-a-thon raises critical funding for our year-round programs and events. Pledges will enable Greater Philadelphia Cares’ volunteers to expand the horizons and self-confidence of children by teaching them to read, rejuvenate neighborhoods ravaged by urban blight, and bridge the widening technology gap in underserved communities. In one day, you can make a world of difference.

Rally your friends, co-workers, neighbors, and family members to form a team, as we transform a day of service into a school-year full of fun and learning. Celebrate your commitment to safeguarding our children and the places where they learn by signing up today!

REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22ND. Register online at http://www.philacares.com or call 215-564-4544 for more information.

Philadelphia Cares Day is generously sponsored by community champions, ACE INA, ARAMARK, and GE!
