Morey and wife, Ellen, partnered with Shane Battier's Take Charge Foundation to bring its GUIDE educational development program to Camden Academy High School. The first class graduated this week.
“‘Battier’ has given me a family,” said Emani Lopez, one of Ellen’s mentees who plans to pursue photography. “I’ve been able to grow as a person, with not only , but also our mentors. I feel like they understand us, and they keep it real with us. They don’t sugarcoat. … Now nicknamed “Battier North,” the students this year took part in twice-weekly programming focused on college and career preparation.
Those regular interactions also include Daryl and Ellen, who said she burst into tears the first time she met last year’s initial class and now serves on the Take Charge Foundation board. When one student questioned a Sixers player’s salary while being interviewed for the program, Daryl welcomed the feedback. When another gave a speech about being inspired by actor Rita Moreno’s performance in the film, the Moreys helped her get an internship at the Philadelphia Theatre Company.
