Alex Burman and his brother Ben are making quite a name for themselves as philanthropists. That is quite a feat considering that they are 11 and 13 years old respectively. With their favorite baseball team, The Philadelphia Phillies, defending their World Series title against the New York Yankees, the boys were poised to see the game from some of the best seats that Citizens Bank Park has to offer. But instead of sitting in the Diamond Club section, the boys sold their 5 tickets on Stub Hub for $11,000 and will donate the funds to Drexel Neumann Academy in Chester, PA. Stephen Burman, uncle to the boys, sits on the board of the Academy which the only Catholic school left in that impoverished city.
