High school students develop Kids for Cobbs golf outing, raise 30K

The Kids for Cobbs Golf Outing raised over $30,000! A tremendous thank you to local Haverford School rising Junior and CCF Volunteer, Sean Allen who founded the KIDS FOR COBBS inaugural event this summer.

"The idea for the Kids for Cobbs golf outing came from the values instilled in me by my parents, prioritizing service to others. That’s what the Cobbs Creek Foundation is all about—collaborating across communities to bring people together to do good things. I’m so thankful to start something that will really help kids in the communities around Cobbs Creek for many years to come.'

Sean planned the event in collaboration with other local high school students who also volunteer at Cobbs Creek, Teagan Cook (rising Junior at Episcopal Academy), Nick Shanahan (rising Sophomore at Haverford School) and Connor Dodson (rising Sophomore at Haverford School).

The goal is to continue the KIDS FOR COBBS event annually to raise awareness for this important educational enrichment programming provided to students in neighborhoods surrounding Cobbs Creek.
