The Joel Cornette Foundation is incredibly grateful for the generous support extended to us. The funds raised at this year’s reception and golf outing are pivotal in furthering our mission to raise awareness, education, and research on heart health in athletes. We are thrilled to announce that we are sponsoring the inaugural AHA National Youth Sports Summit and Cardiac Emergency Response Plans, which will be held in Cincinnati on October 31st and November 1st. It’s concerning to learn that fewer than half of youth sports coaches have received CPR training. Recognizing this crucial need, our initiative seeks to facilitate the implementation of cardiac emergency response plans, which include CPR training and access to AEDs. Your support will undeniably play a role in saving lives. We are honored to work alongside the AHA and support life-saving initiatives.
Annual JCF Golf Outing
Annual JCF Reception
March Mania Event
Each March, during the first Friday of the NCAA Division 1 Basketball Tournament, the Joel Cornette Foundation hosts the first of its two annual fundraising events. This event is a time to celebrate and share memories and is especially significant to the Cornette Family. Joel burst into the national spotlight in 2003 when he led Butler University to a surprise Sweet 16 bid in the NCAA Tournament, which helped put the Bulldogs on the map. Joel is remembered for defiantly telling the media “We Are Still Here” that season – a quote that is a large part of his legacy.
