As you may know, sports has been an integral part of my childhood, adult and professional life. I’d like to introduce you to a local charitable organization that I’ve recently been made aware of through a contact at Temple University. The organization is called Access Sports. They’re based in Philadelphia, in the Manayunk area.
In a nutshell, Access Sports is trying to provide access to a variety of sporting events in the Delaware Valley to at-risk children and youth groups, individuals with special needs and the economically disadvantaged. Basically, they are trying to introduce the excitement and enjoyment of sports to kids who may not get a chance to see a game or event on their own.
So how can you (and I) help them? This is what they are looking for. I lifted this from their website (www.access-sports.org):
Tickets to Sports Events
Marketing/Public Relations Services
A Digital Camera
Baseball Caps with Access Sports logo
Office Supplies
Disposable Cameras
Signed Sports Memorabilia
Your Help!
Your financial donations are greatly appreciated!
If your company has tickets to a game (Phillies, Riversharks, Temple football) that you know are going to go unused, please think about calling me or Access Sports to donate them (and get a tax break). Additionally, as you can see above, all kinds of office supplies are needed. Lastly, if you want to split the costs of getting any logo’ed items made up for them with your logo on it as well, I’ll do the job at cost.
Please take a few minutes to look over their website, and consider helping them out.
