The Kal and Lucille Rudman Foundation is a philanthropic organization community and throughout the Delaware Valley. The Foundation gives financial support to programs and causes, primarily in the fields of education and public safety. It was founded by Kal Rudman and his wife Lucille Rudman. ==Programs supported== The programs supported by The Kal and Lucille Rudman Foundation include: * The Rudmans currently donate $25,000 each year now for a decade, (for a cumulative contribution of $350,000) through the Kal and Lucille Rudman Foundation to fund college scholarships to graduates of the “Health Tech” career development program that puts Olney High School students “on the payroll” of St.Christopher’s Hospital for Children to give them valuable experience and much-needed confidence. * As part of the City of Philadelphia's Fire Prevention Campaign, the Rudmans funded 50 billboards in prime locations throughout Philadelphia. They have also paid for thousands of home fire alarms given out free to people in need throughout Philadelphia. * For the eighth year, the Rudmans have provided scholarships for over 300 Philadelphia Police Officers to take courses at Community College of Philadelphia. For the ninth year, they have provided scholarships to all Philadelphia firefighters who apply to Holy Family University to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Fire Science and Administration. And, the Rudmans now sponsor classes at the Community College of Philadelphia so that people in need can be licensed as Nurses’ Aides. * Scholarships to high school students attending special summer sessions at the University of the Arts. Their participation has allowed many students to get first-hand training in the arts as well as the entertainment industry. * For the new Audenreid High School, the Rudmans bought a large number of books to fill the empty library. They also purchased gym uniforms for the students. * The Foundation has also sponsored everything from Variety Club parties for autistic children to the City’s Nativity scene on the Grounds of the Municipal Services Building. And, when the statute of the Baby Jesus was stolen from that scene, Kal Rudman stepped in to pay for around the clock police guard to assure continued safety. * On a larger scale, the Rudmans have given $1.25 million to Temple University to build a Digital Broadcast Center and Educational Television System for the Temple University School of Communication, Television, and Theater. * Previously, they provided $1,000,000 to establish the Kal and Lucille Rudman Institute for Entertainment Studies (motion pictures, television and radio networks, digital media, and gaming technology) at the College of Media Arts Design of Drexel University, providing Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees for top executive positions—and, which is now nationally known.〔Philadelphia Inquirer, 4/27/10〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kal and Lucille Rudman Foundation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
