On May 18, Philadelphia Futures, along with event host Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz and his teammates, presented the annual Philadelphia Futures Get in the Game event. Philadelphia Futures provides low-income students who are the first in their families to attend college with access to resources and opportunities necessary for admission and success. Participants came together for the bowling tournament and to support the cause. Guests enjoyed buffet finger food, drinks, bidding on silent-auction items of sports memorabilia and on live-auction items. Get in the Game supporters have financed college-related expenses for Sponsor-a-Scholar students and have provided hours of summer academic programs, SAT prep, after-school classes, and extracurricular activities.
