Philadelphia --- In spite of today’s harsh weather Congressman Bob Brady (D., PA) showed up at the Harambee Charter School to hand over a check for $2,100 to support the school’s boys and girls basketball teams.
The check from the Greater Philadelphia Traditions fund will pay for league fees and team uniforms. Presenting the check to Harambee Athletic Director Anthony Medlock, Brady said, “This school is in the First Congressional District and in the heart of neighborhood I grew up in. And, I wanted to make sure that these students would be able to continue their basketball program.”
Medlock said, “Congressman Brady is a man of his word. I talked to him at a community event and asked for his help and he promised he would see to it that these students would be able to play this season. And, here he is today, in spite of the weather.”
