April 25, 2012 - PRLog -- “Comedy Cabaret promises to be a star studded fundraiser benefiting the scholarship program of Community Partnership School (CPS), founded in 2006 through innovation of Germantown Academy and Project H.O.M.E.,” says Lynn Gadsden, CPS Board Chair.  “Since tuition only accounts for 5% of our budget and we receive no funding through our founders or public sources, this exciting annual event helps us raise the critical $1.5 million in funds needed to give 85 low-income elementary students in North Philadelphia a high-quality elementary education.”

We believe all children deserve access to a high quality education, and we are committed to serving this under-resourced neighborhood in North Philly.”  Jones, cited in Philadelphia Magazine as one of Philly's "brave new molders of young minds," recently began his sixth year of leadership at the North Central Philadelphia school.
