Join local alumni for Philadelphia Cares Day on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2009, from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. Join all volunteers for a Kick-off Rally at 8 a.m. and start volunteering at 10 a.m.
The School District of Philadelphia educates 196,308 students in 273 buildings. On October 17, Greater Philadelphia Cares invites you to join thousands of other volunteers who will roll up their sleeves to improve our public schools by painting classrooms, restoring playgrounds, and creating green spaces. Philadelphia Cares Day is a marathon day of service that gives our children attractive and more functional learning places.
To register contact Steve Wagner ’05 at stephen_wagner05@hotmail.com or by calling (610) 246-2309. Alumni must register by October 6. School assignments will be announced a week before the event.
