The Richard Cohen Memorial Scholarship Fund was founded with a goal of providing qualifying teenagers the opportunity to participate in the JCC Maccabi Games. Rich had a passion for basketball and in the late 90s and early 2000s, as both a player and a coach, the JCC Maccabi games allowed him to do what he loved, while creating lifelong bonds and memories. Rich lost his battle to colon cancer in 2020, but wanted to ensure that other passionate teenagers were provided the necessary means to play in the JCC Maccabi Games.
