From the Coach
I am pleased to share with you our 2005 end of the year report. We have
been busy both on and off the field as we help make a difference in the
Greater Cincinnati region. I hope this report will share the things we
have been working on to help create positive change.
I am extremely proud of the work we have done in such a short time,
which has reached over 62,000 Cincinnatians. The support and
generosity of all the organizations and individuals who helped the fund
with their time, resources, and passion has been overwhelming.
On behalf of the staff, Board of Directors, my family, all those we serve,
and myself, I would like to extend a sincere thanks to every individual
that has contributed to the Fund in some way or another. If you have yet
to become involved in the organization, I invite and encourage you to be
a part of our team.
With Sincere Thanks,
Marvin Lewis

and others, we helped create a “Pars Course” at Children’s Hospital College Hill
Campus. The course was designed to help in the rehabilitation process of the

and $220,000 were put into this project that will benefit many young people
and the community for years to come.

Held at Paul Brown Stadium, the Marvin Lewis NFL/NFF Coaching Clinic
presented by National City features the Bengals coaching staff as well as
area high school and college coaches instructing nearly 200 youth, junior

and o’s of football, including teaching and leadership skills, nutrition, proper
fitness training, community involvement, and the need for their
commitment to education.

The ICYFC strives to keep young people involved in team sports through
supporting, encouraging, motivating, and inspiring them to stay focused

Buckeye leagues have been impacted. Through the generosity of the

equipment, created an academic rewards program, and helped offset
league costs.
