The Cleveland Police Foundation’s June 2026 Community Partners of the Month are Zeina Meslat and Firas Haykal of the Boaz Cafe located in Ohio City and specializing in Mediterranean food. These two individuals make it their mission to treat customers with respect and courtesy all while serving delicious food.
This respect and courtesy also extends to the law enforcement community as they have for the second year in a row supported the Officer Down Softball Tournament held on July 25, at Brookside Park in Cleveland Ohio. Their generosity and commitment will help benefit the family of fallen Lorain P.D. Officer Phillip Wagner, as did the families of CPD Officer Ritter and Euclid PD Officer Derbin benefitted last year.
I spoke with tournament director Todd Walsh who stated ” Zeina and Firas of the Boaz Cafe were honored to once again support our Officer Down Tournament and wanted to thank the Cleveland Police Foundation for recognizing their efforts.” It is because of their commitment to the community and our Heroes in Blue that the Cleveland Police Foundation is honored to name Zeina Meslat and Firas Haykal of the Boaz Cafe, our Community Partners of the Month for June 2026.
