On November 24th, I will be running the Philadelphia Marathon while raising money for the Philadelphia-based charity B Inspired.
B Inspired Philadelphia is a non-profit providing after-school programming to middle school students in North and West Philadelphia. Additionally, B Inspired Philadelphia hosts 2 summer camp programs and provides healthy meals and snacks during the 6-week camp sessions. B Inspired Philadelphia determines what needs/interests of the students are based on input from both faculty and students. B Inspired then seeks out existing non-profits to help facilitate the programming. If the program does not exist elsewhere, B Inspired Philadelphia creates it and hires the personnel to execute it.
B Inspired's work has been celebrated around Philadelphia, including by the Philadelphia Eagles and Philadelphia Phillies. For more information about B Inspired Philadelphia: www.binspiredphiladelphia.org
I believe that B Inspired's work is extremely important. Providing healthy after-school outlets for children, especially at the middle school age, has been proven to keep children away from criminal activities as they get older. I also love that B Inspired hosts summer camps for children. Summer can be a time when children lose their ability to have fun in a safe place, and B Inspired's work helps to prevent this from happening. Please consider donating to this cause so B Inspired can continue to do meaningful work for children of Philadelphia.
