Richard is participating as a celebrity chef at a fundraiser in November for Park Avenue Youth and Family Services.
The mission of Park Avenue Youth & Family Services is to empower the residents of the Central neighborhood of South Minneapolis to eliminate dis-parities in health & quality of life stemming from racism & poverty.
This fundraiser is going to support the educational programs of Park Avenue Youth and Family Services (Incl. Village Tutors, Homework Help, and Tronix Team)
75% of 8th graders at our local schools cannot pass the basic reading standards test, 99% cannot pass the MCI III math standards test. PAYFS wants to be part of the solution with our tutoring and hands-on science education programs.
