"One of the largest true process-based stream restoration projects (not an engineered system) in a mega-urban environment in the country... Truly exceptional in size and quality for a large city and will be a showcase for what can be done to restore urban environments." - Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) #EarthMonth

Cobbs Creek Foundation is dedicated to honoring Charlie Sifford’s legacy. The restoration of this historic golf course will pay tribute to its rich history but also prioritize the current community as well as future generations through its educational and community programming.

Charlie Sifford's profound impact on the world of golf resonates deeply, especially at Cobbs Creek, which held a special place in his heart as his home course. As we reflect on his remarkable journey, we recognize Cobbs Creek as more than just a venue for golf—it's a symbol of resilience and triumph over adversity. Sifford's presence at Cobbs Creek echoed his unwavering commitment to the game despite the barriers he faced during the Jim Crow era. His victories not only showcased his exceptional talent but also stood as a testament to his courage in confronting racial segregation head-on.

Today, Cobbs Creek Foundation strives to stand as a living legacy to Sifford's trailblazing spirit, a place where his remarkable story continues to inspire future generations of golfers and serves as a beacon of hope for all who strive to overcome obstacles and pursue their dreams.

Honoring just some of the trailblazers who left an indelible mark on Cobbs Creek. Thelma Cowans, Charlie Sifford, Joe Louis, Ted Rhodes, Bill Spiller, Howard Wheeler– their courage has and continues to pave the way for future generations.

In celebration of Black History Month, the Cobbs Creek Foundation pays tribute to the enduring legacy of Charlie Sifford. This golf trailblazer, a self-taught maestro, refined his craft at Cobbs Creek Golf Course—a welcoming haven for players of all backgrounds. Sifford's passion for golf fueled his determination to shatter barriers, ultimately dismantling the PGA's Caucasian-only clause. His remarkable journey, marked by achievements such as receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom, played a pivotal role in transcending racial and societal divides within the realm of golf. While acknowledging the ongoing work ahead, we honor and appreciate the profound journey and lasting legacy crafted by Charlie Sifford. #BlackHistoryMonth2024 #CharlieSiffordLegacy

Here are two examples of how #attentionspan can help students exercise agency and begin to take control of their attention. Psychologist @GloriaMark_PhD encourages young people to think about how their “future selves” would encourage them to use their time and attention.

@sstollar6 Yes! We know how critical relationships are in schools, yet teachers receive little to no formal training on how to effectively build relationships with their students. I do this work. We’ve published on it as well.

In 1963, John Coltrane was inspired to write “Alabama” after hearing MLK’s moving words in response to this awful act that killed Denise McNair and three other girls. It’s a beautiful song that communicates both sadness and determination. Out of a tragic event, he created beauty.

She would have been my age . I think of all the life experiences she was denied in the name of hate.
