R.O.B.S.
Founded by Lorenzo & Cheryl Cohen-Pollard
Established in 2007 in honor of Robert Birdsong, Jr, we believe that all should have the opportunity to follow their hopes and dreams, regardless of adversity. We hope to help students in doing so through monetary assistance funding their education!
Our goal is to one day provide full scholarships to our recipients.
To date, we have provided over $14,000 in scholarships and educational funding locally and in support of UNICEF USA & Lawrence O’Donnel’s Kids in Need of Desks (K.I.N.D.) campaign, internationally.
Our Mission
Reach Out and Bless Someone (R.O.B.S.) is dedicated to developing leaders within the churches of Christ who are committed to serving both their church and their community. We seek to enable and encourage student commitment to active life-long learning, personal and spiritual values, responsible citizenship and community involvement.
Our Vision
“Identify and assist the next generation of leaders in funding their college education”
1. Provide undergraduate scholarships specifically to members of churches of Christ.
2. Raise funds to facilitate renewable scholarships.
3. Pay tribute to Robert (Robbie) Birdsong, Jr
4. Cultivate relationships between those who are older in the faith with those who are younger.
