HKRS HAS BEGUN RAISING FUNDS TO OFFER PROGRAMMING IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES AND TO FAMILIES IN ECONOMIC NEED. THIS FUND'S GOAL IS TO OFFER FREE PROGRAMMING TO COMMUNITIES AND INDIVIDUALS, INCLUDING URBAN AND RACIAL OR ETHNIC MINORITIES, WHO HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN OUTSIDE THE PURVIEW OF YOUTH PROGRAMMING DUE TO FACTORS SUCH AS HIGH INCIDENCE OF INCOME BELOW THE POVERTY LINE OR GEOGRAPHIC ISOLATION. HKRS IS COMMITTED TO OFFERING AN INCLUSIVE PROGRAM, AVAILABLE TO TODAY'S YOUTH NO MATTER THEIR BACKGROUND, RACE, OR ECONOMIC SITUATION. ADDITIONALLY, HKRS HAS FORMED STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE LIKES OF CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF PHILADELPHIA TO SUPPORT AND FUND PROGRAMMING IN WEST PHILADELPHIA.
