Dear Friends,

As the President of the Corey C. Griffin Foundation, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible turnout and unwavering support we continue to receive from each of you. Thank you for contributing to the success of the 16th Annual Boston Winter Ball.

First and foremost, I am thrilled to announce that together, we raised over $2.1 million dollars to further our mission of improving the lives of Corey’s Kids! Your generosity and dedication have exceeded our expectations, and we are deeply humbled by your willingness to contribute to the causes that resonate so deeply with our organization. Your donations will have a profound impact on the lives of those we serve, and for that, we are eternally grateful. In honor of our milestone year, we were also honored to present Lawrence Catholic Academy with a $1.5 million donation.

Thank you to our co-chairs Steve Alibrandi, Jon Farrow, and David Andrews for aiding in the success of the event. We are also thankful for the team at AJ Events for their leadership in planning an spectacular evening. 

Reflecting on our 10th anniversary year, I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude as we unveil our 10th anniversary logo. It is because of your unwavering support that we have been able to reach this significant milestone. Each year, events like the Boston Winter Ball, the Boston Marathon and CoreyFest are a testament to the power of collective action and the strength of our community. We are truly blessed to have such dedicated supporters by our side.

In addition to our fundraising efforts, I am delighted to share that 17 runners are training for the Corey C. Griffin Boston Marathon team participating in the race in April. Your encouragement and support mean the world to our team members as they prepare for this incredible challenge. If you’d like to meet our team and/or donate click here. 

Finally, our good friends at JDL, aren’t just passionate about delivering exceptional service and value to their construction and interior design clients, they also believe in being good corporate citizens. That's why we're excited that their latest charity initiative, JDLXO, will benefit the Corey C. Griffin Foundation. Join us for an exciting night on February 15th, at Mariel Underground in Post Office Square and if you can’t make it out that night, your donation can be made here!  

Looking ahead, I am excited to soon announce our newest board leadership who will play a crucial role in shaping the future of the Foundation. In addition, stay tuned for a summary of our inaugural strategic plan. We are honored to embark on this new chapter together. Your continued support and involvement are invaluable as we strive to make an even greater impact in the years to come.

In closing, I extend my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for your unwavering support of the Boston Winter Ball and the Corey C. Griffin Foundation. Together, we are making an extraordinary difference in the lives of those we serve.

With heartfelt thanks,

President, Corey C. Griffin Foundation
