Marvin Lewis Community Fund
In every community and every city, one priority looms above all others - serving and protecting the needs of children. The Greater Cincinnati Region features more than its share of hurdles and obstacles for our children, especially those living in some of the lower income, inner-city neighborhoods.
Today's children face a seemingly endless array of challenges and decisions, which makes community role models and leaders more important than ever. With this in mind, Marvin and Peggy Lewis launched the Marvin Lewis Community Fund (MLCF) on October 9, 2003.
Since then, Marvin has spread the message of community involvement and accountability. Speaking at schools and fund-raisers, and giving his time and energy to countless causes, he has been a tireless community activist and youth advocate.
The Marvin Lewis Community Fund has partnered with seven regional non-profit organizations and supports its signature programs. Our programs include: the Coach of the Year Award, the Marvin Lewis Coaching Clinic, Hometown Huddle, The Marvin Lewis Scholarship Fund and Youth Development through sports. The non-profits we support consist of The Boys and Girls Club of Greater Cincinnati, Boys Hope Girls Hope, the ProScan Pink Ribbon Center, Success by 6, Minorities in Mathematics, Science and Engineering (M2SE), National Multiple Sclerosis Society, and Youth Incorporated. The MLCF supports these organizations through its fund-raising efforts, serving as a conduit for donors eager to connect with worthwhile, inner-city programs while also funding other area non-profits.
