Joy To The World Foundation is a newly formed initiative to encourage and educate youth and families across Greater Philadelphia that are facing financial hardship during this holiday season.

“Giving is not a week-to-week or season-to-season thing. It’s a lifestyle,” he said. “What we’re trying to establish, through this event and others that will soon come, is a giving mentality. Then the idea becomes a movement. And a movement is what we need right now.”
