Prep Charter sophomore Nile Overton is joining other Philadelphia area students on a 20-day excursion to Australia meant to connect U.S. students with their global contemporaries. It includes staying with an Australian family, as well as learning about the Aborigine culture and the Great Barrier Reef.
The student from Broad and Wharton streets, who was nominated by his teacher, was chosen after undergoing an interview process with trip organizers. This is Overton’s second time traveling abroad as, at age 9, he visited England with the St. Peter’s boys’ choir.
Citizens Bank has kicked off its annual youth baseball glove donation program in partnership with the Philadelphia Phillies and second baseman Chase Utley. The Citizens Bank Helping Hands glove donation program collects new and gently-used baseball gloves at Citizens Bank Park, 1 Citizens Bank Way, to benefit children 12 years old or younger who play in the Phillies Jr. RBI League program.
The league was created to encourage inner-city youths to participate in baseball programs and has helped more than 7,000 children throughout the Delaware Valley. Anyone who donates a glove can enter to win an autographed Utley baseball glove. Donations may be made throughout the Phillies season at the Citizens Bank kiosk in Ashburn Alley.
