Charles and Karen Phillips’ non-profit Phillips Charitable Organizations (PCO) generously contributed $250,000 to East Harlem Tutorial Program (EHTP) this month, becoming Lead Sponsor for its Robotics Program.
The Robotics Program helps to transform the lives of East Harlem students and families as a core component of EHTP’s STEM program.
