A Force of ♥️ for Boston’s Kids

CoreyFest 2025
Saturday, November 1

Thanks to the support and love from so many, CoreyFest 2025 brought in more than 2,000 fans and raised over $2.2 million for Corey’s Kids!

The Infinity Fund
Be a Force Multiplier

We believe every child deserves a chance to thrive. The Corey C. Griffin Foundation supports high-impact educational and healthcare programs for youth from under-resourced communities in Greater Boston, serving over 10,000 kids annually.

Remembering Corey

Corey C. Griffin (1986–2014), who always saw and brought out the best in people, is our inspiration.

Boston Marathon 2026

The Corey C. Griffin Team is returning for the 130th running of the Boston Marathon on April 20, 2026. Our team of runners will be looking to raise more than the $330,000 raised in 2025.

 
Boston Winter Ball 2026

The Boston Winter Ball will be on Saturday, March 7th, 2026, at the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport. Join us for Boston’s Biggest Night Out while supporting the Corey C. Griffin Foundation and our commitment to be a power of love and improve the lives of thousands of kids in Boston. 

 

Creating Better Tomorrows

We believe that all children have the potential to succeed when afforded the same access to education, mentorship, and work opportunities.

Guided by the memory of our namesake, Corey C. Griffin, who always saw the best in others and inspired them to be their best selves, we drive our own initiatives and partner with leading organizations to be a force of love in empowering children in Greater Boston.

We call them “Corey’s Kids.”

Our Work

The Foundation partners with the most diligent, resourceful, and innovative organizations serving Boston-area children. These established groups cover the range of education, food security, health care, and character-building for kids who need love and support.

Our comprehensive engagements with our partners and community operate on four distinct and equally critical levels.

Events

We’re not a “rubber chicken dinner” type of organization. If you come to our events, you will have fun. Our events, like the Boston Winter Ball (aka, “Boston’s Biggest Night Out”) and CoreyFest, rank among the top draws in the Hub.

Initiatives

We’re a hands-on organization that works with our community through fundraisers, school supply and holiday drives, tuition assistance, and direct grants — all driven by compassion, connection, and unconditional love for Corey’s Kids.

Our Impact

We Want Every Child To Thrive

Through our own initiatives and 11 key partners, we support high-impact educational and healthcare programs for youth from under-resourced communities in Greater Boston, serving over 10,000 kids annually.
