Jonathan L Cohen Foundation

The Douglas B. Gardner Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 2004 to support disadvantaged children in New York City through partnerships with local non-profits that provide after-school programs focused on personal development, mentoring, and academic support. Founded in memory of Douglas Gardner, who perished in the September 11 attacks, the foundation aims to carry on his legacy of helping children achieve their dreams and foster community engagement. Through initiatives like the annual Memorial Basketball Tournament and funding for academic scholarships, the foundation emphasizes the importance of mentorship, leadership, and teamwork in the lives of young people. The foundation is led by Jennifer Gardner, alongside her children Julia and Michael, who continue to advocate for the charitable mission started in their father's name. Generated from the website
