News and Events
Every event at CoreBridge 17 Foundation is a bridge—connecting purpose, people, and transformation.
Through our prevention workshops, leadership programs, and community fundraisers, we bring together youth, families, and advocates who believe in healing and hope.
Our calendar features both impact-driven youth programs and fundraising experiences that sustain them.
Below are CoreBridge 17 Foundation’s key fundraising and youth empowerment events for the upcoming year.
Each one plays a vital role in advancing our mission — from building awareness and fostering leadership to raising critical funds that support prevention and mentorship initiatives.
Dates and registration details will be announced following board approval.
