Hosted by the Corey C. Griffin Foundation (CCGF) and held at Boston’s House of Blues on November 2, the 10th anniversary of CoreyFest featured a stellar lineup. With incredible performances by Jake Owen, Austin Williams, Tyler Reeve, Alec MacGillivray, and Amanda Stewart, we raised over $2.3 million for Corey’s Kids and awarded $100,000 in scholarships to 10 extraordinary Boston-area students. Thanks to the incredible support from over 1,500 attendees, sponsors, and donors, we surpassed last year’s fundraising total and made a record-breaking impact for local youth.
CoreyFest has become a highly celebrated tradition in Boston, known not only for its high-profile musical guests but also for the powerful meaning behind the event. As attendees cheered on the talented artists, they also contributed to a greater cause, with all proceeds benefiting “Corey’s Kids”. The Foundation’s initiatives extend across Boston’s most economically challenged neighborhoods, providing essential resources for health, safety, education, and opportunities for youth from early education through young adulthood.
The highlight of the evening was a heartwarming scholarship ceremony where 10 Boston-area students received $10,000 scholarships in recognition of their hard work, leadership, and commitment to their communities. These students, representing CCGF’s partner programs like Lawrence Academy, Ron Burton Training Village, St. John Paul II Catholic Academy, and Trinity Catholic Academy, are a testament to Corey Griffin’s legacy of empowering and advocating for youth.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us for this celebration, helping us drive positive change for Boston youth. Stay tuned for the CoreyFest 2025 date and details!
