• Doug and Maureen are thrilled to share the news that Corey's Goal made a $10,000 donation to Chicago Hornets Sled Hockey in memory of Corey. Corey loved all things hockey and had a gift of including everyone and making everyone feel seen. We know Corey would be honored to be part of helping the Hornets on their mission. The Hornets are a sled hockey organization consisting of players age 5 and up who have physical disabilities. We learned of this awesome organization through a student that Maureen works with and we are thrilled to make this donation on #GivingTuesday. Thank you to everyone who continues to support Corey's Goal and our mission of gifting to local hockey programs in Corey's memory!
