Meek Mill and Kevin Hart Donates $15 Million to Philadelphia Schools

This past week, Meek Mill, Kevin Hart, and Philadelphia 76’s limited partner Michael Rubin announced that they are putting money together to donate over $15 million to Philadelphia schools. Their donation is going to affect a variety of underserved students across 110 Philadelphia-area schools, not including the District of Philadelphia but to cover private and parochial tuition costs, according to Philadelphia Voice.

School District of Philadelphia Superintendent Dr. William Hite stated: “Philadelphia is the poorest big city in the country…We have larger numbers of young people who don’t have access to early childhood services and who aren’t on grade level, those experiencing trauma, homelessness, are new to the country, have special needs, and those who need additional resources.”
