Local Nonprofit Cradles to Crayons Adds Scott Latimer and Richard Rumer to Board

Cradles to Crayons-Philadelphia, the West Conshohocken-based nonprofit that provides area children – from birth through age 12, living in homeless or low-income situations – with the essential items they need to thrive, has elected Scott Latimer and Richard Rumer to its board.

Latimer, a graduate of Bucknell University and The George Washington University, is a recently retired partner/principal in PricewaterhouseCoopers’ healthcare advisory/consulting practice. Rumer retired earlier this year from Temple University, where he was vice president of business services. He is a graduate of Villanova University.

Cradles to Crayons provides children from birth through age 12 who live in homeless or low-income situations with the essential items they need to thrive—at home, at school, and at play. Cradles to Crayons supplies these items free of charge by engaging and connecting communities that have with communities that need, collecting new and like-new children’s items through grassroots community drives and corporate donations. Working through its network of hundreds of community human service agency “partners,” supported annually by tens of thousands of volunteers, Cradles to Crayons-Philadelphia helps more than 70,000 children in southeastern Pennsylvania.

Cradles to Crayons-Philadelphia (www.cradlestocrayons.org ) is located 30 Clipper Road, West Conshohocken, Pa.
