Timeline of Mourning: Steve Harvey and Marjorie Bridges Harvey Pay Tribute to Her Father
By James H. Sterling
Philanthropy has remained an active pillar of Marjorie’s shared platform with Steve. Through The Steve & Marjorie Harvey Foundation, the couple runs mentoring camps for young men without fathers and leadership enrichment programs for adolescent girls. Marjorie spearheads the girls' programming, emphasizing self-worth, academic rigor, and professional comportment.
Her work through the foundation mirrors the lessons passed down from her father in Memphis. James A. Bridges Sr. believed strongly in opening doors for community members who lacked traditional advantages. By channeling their substantial wealth into tangible scholarship funds and mentorship summits across Atlanta, Chicago, and Los Angeles, the Harveys transformed their celebrity platform into an instrument for social uplift.
