The Foundation is dedicated to using its unique resources to raise public awareness and financial support for essential and timely initiatives that represent four recognized pillars of giving – pediatric cancer, children’s health & safety, education and the development of youth & amateur hockey. We do so by creating first-class fundraising events and special programs through partnerships forged with local charitable organizations. In conjunction with their staffs, volunteers, contributors and stakeholders, we work to ensure the successful execution of these events and programs. We also work with our players and coaches to identify causes and organizations in which they can lend their support.

The Columbus Blue Jackets Foundation offers a variety of programs in support of local non profit organizations. Serving central Ohio communities in support of initiatives that are important to the fans who support our team has always been a priority for our organization. Thanks to the commitment of Blue Jackets players, their wives, the fans and the Columbus community, the Foundation has awarded nearly $3 million in grants to worthy central Ohio charities since its inception in 2000.
