The COHEN|HARRIS FOUNDATION believes spending one on one time with a parent is a very important part of child’s development. So this month we would like to give away 10 pairs of tickets to the Maryland Science Center. The Maryland Science Center is a space where children can learn about science in an playful environment. (Limit one adult and one child per giveaway - unfortunately there can be no exceptions)

If you or someone you know should be considered for the give away please send us a message using Facebook Messenger explaining how this trip will help improve, maintain or solidify your relationship with your child. If you are selected we will message you. Please do not send more than one message.

And please feel free to share this post.

It was nice to be able to contribute to two fine organizations this month. CUPs Coffeehouse provides employment to Baltimore youth with the goal of teaching them the skills necessary to be competitive in the work environment, while Ryen Hazeytv Easterling and his father work with the Turner Station Roadrunners Basketball Program teaching youth the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship.

It was a good month.

Today we are proud to award Montrey with a scholarship to help with his schooling. Montrey is a college student from Baltimore City who is currently studying sports management while also achieving as a student athlete. Montrey's coach wrote a glowing review of this young man and Montrey's resume, which includes volunteer work and leadership roles, proves his coach's review was spot on.

The COHEN|HARRIS FOUNDATION hopes that this award can help Montrey on his path to achieve all that he wishes to do with his very bright future.

Because young minds need to be exposed to positive literary experiences today the COHEN|HARRIS FOUNDATION delivered ten copies of Jawara Griffin's book "Home Boy" to the juvenile detention centers in Baltimore City.

In his book, Jawara Griffin details the events in his life that helped make him the fantastic attorney he is today. For anyone looking for a good read with a positive outcome please read "Home Boy".
