Colin F. Kennedy Foundation

Colin F. Kennedy Foundation Young adults coming together in our community to be philanthropic. In 2006 Colin Kennedy passed away unexpectedly in his sleep. Kennedy Foundation, in 2016.

One of the things Colin always wanted to do was have an annual pick-up hockey tournament for family and friends. In 2008 Colin's 6 brothers and some of his friends got together and started a charity tournament in his honor to benefit the Colin F. Kennedy Fund in support of Quad A for Kids. The event has become a big hit with young and old, those that play hockey and those that don't, spawning the

creation of a non-profit organization, the Colin F. With the marquee event of the foundation being the Colin Cup, the Colin F. Kennedy Foundation strives each day to better the community by brightening the future of its youth.

A brighter future can begin with one opportunity. đŸ’«

Colin F. Kennedy Foundation gives students support, encouragement, and scholarships that help them move confidently toward their goals.

As part of our Brighter Futures - 10 Years + Counting Campaign, we’re spotlighting CFK Scholar, Chef Vaughnn, whose journey reflects exactly why this work matters.

“A scholarship is more than just financial help - it's about finding people and organizations who truly believe in you and your future.”

When you support CFK, you’re not just funding a scholarship - you’re investing in confidence, opportunity, and possibility.
