Team Phillip has accomplished a great deal since our inception 4 years ago.

  • We have sponsored The Angels since 2022, a team which is part of the Miracle League (an organization that offers baseball for children and adults with differing abilities.)

  • We provided eight $1000 scholarships to graduating seniors who served as buddies with Miracle League.

  • We purchased and collected over 1000 toys and books during Phillip’s birthday month for Ronald McDonald House, Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Nationwide Close to Home Center, and Early Childhood Education Center (FCBDD.)

  • In partnership with Unity Presbyterian Church, we worked together to gather donations, fill and deliver 300 Spring/Easter Baskets to patients and siblings staying at the RMH and NWCH in 2024 and 2025.

  • We have donated and/or raised over $3000 to support A Kid Again (an organization that serves children with life threatening or chronic illness.)

  • We donated $500 to Gahanna Special Olympics as well as provided goodie bags and t-shirts to athletes and coaches during the 2024 and 2025 Winter Games.

  • We co-sponsored a banquet for the athletes and coaches of the Super-Hero Flag Football Team, (for children with differing abilities thru Reynoldsburg Parks & Rec.) in 2024 and 2025

  • We introduced our “Box of Hope,” a self-care box including a book on grief and a journal to families who have recently lose a child. The first 15 were given to families through Nationwide Children’s Hospital

There is still so much we can do. We are changing the world, don’t you wanna join us?
