ABOUT SPIRIT OF SHEA

 

Spirit of Shea was created in honor of Shea Cohn to continue the values he lived — compassion, curiosity, encouragement, and inclusion — by helping young people access meaningful opportunities.


Our mission is to support youth in sports, music, education, and exploration, ensuring that financial limitations don’t prevent a young person from participating, learning, or growing.


We focus on real opportunities - whether it’s learning an instrument, joining a team, attending a program, or exploring the world - and your support makes these moments possible.


Our Values


• Compassion and empathy
• Inclusion and access
• Encouraging curiosity
• Thoughtful stewardship of donor support


Your generosity today creates experiences that can change a young person’s life.


To learn more about Shea, go to the About Shea page - a remarkable young man who made a difference in everyone he met.


The Spirit of Shea is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, public charity.
