<p>#Roomies, a local New Yorker has raised over $25,000 for kids in #Harlem to go see #BlackPanther for free when it drops next month.</p>
<p>#FrederickJoseph’s original goal was to raise $10K on GoFundMe to send 300 kids from the #Harlem Boys &; Girls Club but now that number has tripled thanks to donations from more than 500 people. He is also working on expanding the campaign into other cities.</p>
<p>Joseph, who is an activist and marketing director, told <em><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/viral-gofundme-campaign-raises-funds-send-harlem-kids/story?id=52239782">ABC News</a></em> that it’s important for kids of color to see a strong, positive role model who looks like them.</p>
<p>#Marvel’s #BlackPanther starring #ChadwickBoseman, #AngelaBassett, #LupitaNyongo, #MichaelBJordan and more #BlackExcellence hits US theaters on February 16.</p>
