SCSSD is fully funded by:

Community Programs

Donations

SCSSD is proud to provide donations to other non-profit organizations in the District.  Here are some examples:

School Donations Program

In 2004, SCSSD established the annual School Donations Program to benefit the seven area schools (currently six) located within SCSSD boundaries. SCSSD has since provided over $135,000 in funding to the schools for special projects and programs that otherwise would not be possible. Examples include: computer LCD projectors, interactive smart boards, new classroom windows, educational guitar program, classroom PA system, security door access system, educational butterfly garden, athletic equipment, graduation yearbooks, new lunch room chairs, basketball backboards, chess supplies, bike racks, classroom maps, and shelter-in-place emergency supplies.

Hero Thrill Show

In proud support of the local Police Officers and Firefighters that protect SCSSD residents, SCSSD has donated over $40,000 to the annual Hero Thrill Show charity. Event proceeds are used to provide scholarships to the children of Police Officers and Firefighters who have been disabled or fatally wounded in the line of duty.

Charity Carnival Donations

SCSSD is based on an important principle of the teams and neighbors working together on common goals of community benefit. SCSSD is proud to strengthen that partnership by participating in annual charity carnivals. Each year, SCSSD makes a donation to the charitable event of most importance to each of our partner sports venue operators. These events provide SCSSD with valuable exposure and include the following:

  • Every February, the Wells Fargo Center hosts the Flyers Wives Fight for Lives carnival, generating funds for a variety of charitable causes in Philadelphia.
  • At Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies Phestival takes place every April with all proceeds directed to the ALS Association for Lou Gehrig’s disease.
  • The Eagles Youth Partnership hosts a charity event (currently ‘Flight Night’) at Lincoln Financial Field during the month of August each year to benefit underprivileged youth in need of books and eye care.

Supersite Fence Donation

In 2008, SCSSD completed a $300,000 donation to the School District of Philadelphia for the installation of decorative security fencing around the Southern-Bok athletic fields, located at 10th and Bigler Streets, in SCSSD Community District III. In 2007, the School District invested over $7 million to improve this “Supersite”. SCSSD funded the fence for the benefit of the adjacent community, to further beautify the neighborhood and minimize trespassing security problems of the past.
