Executive Director Letter
“Your support helps us be champions off the ice, for each other, for the next generation and for Columbus.”
As I look back on my first year as Executive Director of the Columbus Blue Jackets Foundation, I am truly humbled by the work we do to give back to a community that does so much for us…
For Our Future
Over the past two decades, the Blue Jackets no-cost education programs have brought hockey into the classroom to teach teamwork, responsibility and respect in a fun, interactive way.
