The highlight of the event was Live!’s announcement of a $750,000 donation to Rebuild City of Philadelphia. This will directly fund the major renovation of Murphy Recreation Center in South Philadelphia, allowing Rebuild to finish the $4.5 million project in the fall with brand-new fields, courts and sidewalks!
