Philadelphia Robotics Coalition Named 2018 Community Hero by Phillies Charities, Inc.

The Philadelphia Phillies charity arm has named the Philadelphia Robotics Coalition a 2018 Community Hero and selected us to receive a $15,000 grant to further our robotics outreach work in Philadelphia.

The Phillies Press Office said “In honor of #GivingTuesday, Phillies Charities, Inc. is saluting dozens of local charities and organizations who are making an impact in the Phillies’ major league and minor league communities. All of these community heroes will be honored for their charitable efforts on Thursday, December 6, at the Phillies Charities, Inc. Holiday Giving Party at Citizens Bank Park. This special event will also recognize those who were selected to receive a 2018 Phillies Charities, Inc. grant, distributed so that their community efforts could continue.”
