World Golf Hall of Famer, Gary Player, Presented $300,000 Check to Support ECS's Out-of-School Time Program

On October 14, 2022, professional golf champion and World Hall of Famer Gary Player presented a check for $300,000 to Episcopal Community Services (ECS) to support ECS’ out-of-school time (OST) program, the second largest OST program in Philadelphia.  The check presentation took place at the Feltonville School of Arts and Sciences. 

The generous donation from the Gary and Vivienne Player Foundation will help ensure a fun and enriching experience for students enrolled in the OST program at ECS. The program provides a safe and constructive outlet for K-8 students after school and in the summer when school is out and parents are working. The program served 763 families last Fiscal Year (FY22).  Learn more about our OST Program
