Blue Jackets Foundation donates record-setting $850,000 to local and community youth hockey organizations

COLUMBUS, OHIO – The Columbus Blue Jackets Foundation announced today the donation of a record total of $850,000 to local charitable and youth hockey organizations for the current grant cycle, eclipsing last year’s previous record-setting grant total of $800,000. Since its inception in 2000, the Foundation has invested $7 million in Central Ohio to support initiatives that fight pediatric cancer, grow and support youth hockey and keep kids healthy and safe.

The first of this year’s signature commitments is a $40,000 grant to the Columbus Metropolitan Library Foundation to support homework help centers in four new branches opening in the next year.
