Marjorie co-founded Harris Philanthropies with her husband, Josh, a charitable foundation with a primary goal of improving the lives of underserved youth in high-need communities through the power of sports and education. The foundation has made a transformational contribution to several communities through its work with the Police Athletic League of Philadelphia, After-School All-Stars and the Philadelphia Youth Sports Collaborative, among other charitable organizations that help children with academic achievement and enhanced wellness. Prior to taking time off to raise her five children, Marjorie spent 10 years at Citibank trading syndicated bank loans, originating high yield bonds and lending to investment grade companies.
