Teach Anti-Bullying Donates Sixers Tickets to Underpriveleged Children in Philadelphia, Chester & Camden for a “Night at the Sixers” Saturday, April 5th
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania –
March 21, 2014 – Teach Anti-Bullying, the national,
501(c)(3) foundation dedicated
to working with educators and parents on the bullying crisis in the classroom
and our communities, has raised funds to send 50 underprivileged children from
Philadelphia, Chester and Camden to a special “Night at the Sixers,” on
Saturday, April 5th.
The Sixers will play the Brooklyn Nets that
night at the Wells Fargo Center – game time is 7:30 p.m.
“We originally planned a special fundraising ‘Teach Anti-Bullying
Walk with the Sixers,’ but due to certain logistical problems, we realized that
this would much better serve the children of our communities that have never
had the opportunity to go to something like this,” said Claudio
V. Cerullo, Ph.D., the founder and President of Teach Anti-Bullying. “Teach Anti-Bullying purchased tickets with the help of
donations, and we will be sending under-privileged children and their families
from Chester, Philadelphia and Camden to the game to help us promote
anti-bullying awareness. They are so very excited, and we will be there to join
them!”
Donations are still accepted for the evening to purchase
additional tickets. Interested donors
can contact Teach Anti-Bullying’s Vice
President, Daniela Redpath, by e-mail at dredpath@teachantibullying.net or by phone at 484-431-9711.
