The Cardinal Bevilacqua Community Center, an agency of Catholic Social Services of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, joins Delta Sigma Pi students from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business to host the first Annual Youth Basketball Tournament. The Cardinal Bevilacqua Community Center was dedicated on November 04, 2003. It is located in the Kensington section of Philadelphia.

Approximately 65 Wharton volunteers will assist as neighborhood youth leagues compete in the all-day tournament. Over 100 young people, ranging in age from 13 to 18, who have formed teams during weekly Open Gym nights at the Community Center, will compete.

The Community Center offers free after-school and youth programs as well as adult classes in computers, GED, and job readiness. Projects such as the Community Garden, home-ownership workshops, and recreational events for all ages encourage local residents and community members to become involved in positive social change across ethnic and generational boundaries.
