The first Kentucky-based non-profit organizations to receive funds from Harlow’s newly launched venture were revealed at the same time as his foundation’s announcement and are Centro Latino, Adelante Hispanic Achievers, Sponsor4Success, and Russell: A Place of Promise.
As a thank-you, the city of Louisville decided to honor Harlow with a “Hometown Heroes” ceremony and banner printing was used to honor him as a Louisville native who has continued to give back via national or international platforms while showing pride in the city.
At the end of April, Harlow released “Jackman,” his third studio album, and celebrated by going to several schools in the Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) district, including Atherton High School, his alma mater.
