A Letter from the Heart

As I watched the celebration after the Phillies game the other night I saw something extraordinary. I watched as people of all colors, ages and economic status hug one another, sing together, dance in the streets together and even cry together. It did not matter what church they attended, what faith they were, or if they had any faith at all. There was no discussion about political party affiliation or which candidate you were voting for. It took the Philadelphia Phillies to win a championship for people to forget their differences and come together.

Our goal here at UFC is to promote that same type of atmosphere for the thousands of youth, fathers, mothers, teachers and families we encounter through our various programs. Imagine if you will families, neighborhoods, politicians and individuals from all walks of life coming together like I witnessed while watching the Phillies celebrate their world championship and the ultimate prize after a yearlong quest. This is the prize we seek here at Urban Family Council.
