On behalf of everyone associated with A.J. Cohen Memorial Inc, we thank you for your generous support during the 7th Annual A.J. Cohen Memorial. Special thanks to The Summit Country Day School for the Meet the Team dinner and to Western Hills High School for the use of their beautiful facility. Several fire departments from around Hamilton County also participated in our fire safety program, and without them, educating our youth on the dangers of fire safety would not be possible.

On April 19th 2008, Jon Lippert was named the 2nd President of the A.J. Cohen Memorial. Jon replaces Barrett Cohen who held that position from the inception of the incorporation date. Jon attended The Summit Country Day School and was in the same graduating class with A.J. In fact, they were best friends. Jon and A.J. even followed each other to the University of Dayton. Jon was two houses down from A.J, the night of the tragic fire. This tournament means more to Jon than most others. His connection to A.J. makes this personal.
In just a few short days after being named president, Jon called all the board members to explain his ideas for the 2009 tournament. The early return on his ideas have generated much excitement. Although we are not at liberty to discuss such plans just yet, we do look forward to announcing a new and exciting version of the A.J. Cohen Memorial soon. Please check back for more information.
Scholarship Fund Update
To date, the A.J. Cohen Memorial Family Fund has raised $100,000.
