Memorial Donations for Philip Seymour Hoffman (the Bronx) -- fans may donate to Dreamyard, New York City, NY

Actor Philip Seymour Hoffman died at a very young age and his family and friends are asked to donate to the Chris and Dana Reeve Foundation as well as to the "Dreamyard" project -- here's the Charity Navigator assessment: DreamYard uses the arts to inspire youth, public schools and communities. DreamYard programs develop artistic voice, nurture young peoples' desire to make change and cultivate the skills necessary to reach positive goals. By committing to sustained learning opportunities along an educational pathway, DreamYard supports young people as they work toward higher learning, meaningful careers and social action. We believe that young people in the Bronx need a continuous set of supports to help them towards positive outcomes as they navigate their educational pathway. We have every expectation that through offering sustained and meaningful supports our youth will develop the tools to become creative and engaged citizens, life-long learners and the leaders and innovators of the 21st century. http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=12702#.UvKGYX4o7IU
