CORE CARES
Our Commitment
As part of our strong commitment to the industry, each year CORE contributes to the CORE Cares program. This program is designed to create unique scholarship and gift opportunities that support the young professionals and rising stars in the field that will be shaping all of our futures. To live out our commitment to service and contribution to the industry, we have partnered with the C2 Foundation, which has two main initiatives. We invite you to join us!
Starling Scholars
Named after Tamara’s grandmother, the Starling Scholars program has been in existence since 1998. It was one of our very first giving initiatives and was developed with the goal of making student and professional development opportunities in recreation and wellness accessible to all regardless of financial standing. Over $25,000 in scholarships have been awarded to support “Rising Stars” in the industry who will undoubtedly go on to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
Your Butterfly Book
Created in honor of Jenn’s mom, Carole, the mission of Your Butterfly Book is to share journaling as a personal pathway toward healing, growth, wellness, connection, and inspiration.
Wellness through Music
As Emory Austin once said, “Somedays there won’t be a song in your heart. Sing anyway”. Established in the midst of the pandemic, the Wellness through Music Concert Series sought to bring music and song back to our lives at a time when we needed it most. The online series was free to all and featured some of the most outstanding and inspirational singer-songwriters in the industry. People came from all over the world to feel united and uplifted. The series remains available on-demand.
We’re just getting starting! Help us create, support and inspire others through our various initiatives at the Foundation.
