LETTER FROM

THE BOARD CHAIR

OUR

MISSION

Dear Friends,



On behalf of our Board of Directors, Thank You!



Thank you for your generosity, your partnership,

and your support, all of which helped the Corry

Community Foundation to Inspire, Empower,

and Engage our neighbors, our friends, and our

community.



Because of you, the Corry Community Foundation

exempliﬁes the power of collective giving. In 2023,

donors made 125 gifts valued at $317,437. Local

nonproﬁts received 35 awards and 34 scholarships

were awarded to deserving students. Overall, the

Foundation distributed $733,901. Three new funds

and scholarships were created.



As we reﬂect on 2023, the Corry Community

Foundation is keeping pace with growth. We

welcomed two new board members, Scott Fogle

and Jen Heiser. We formed a structure committee

that focuses on deﬁning and documenting best

practices for our Foundation. We increased our mini-

grant awards, reinvented our annual meeting, and

partnered with The Erie Community Foundation to

introduce a new brand promise and logo in 2024.

The year has been busy with forward-thinking work.

Most importantly, I would like to take this opportunity

to publicly thank Bill Nichols, for his many years of

leadership of The Corry Community Foundation,

stepping down after 14 years as Chairman. His

steady presence and unwavering commitment

have served us well. I am humbled to take the reins

as Board Chair and I hope to make our board,

donors, sta, and the entire community proud as the

Foundation looks ahead to the future.



As we look to the future, reﬂecting on past successes

reminds us of our roots and our purpose. Enjoy the

stories highlighting the empowerment of our donors’

generosity, the inspiring support of the Class of 2012

for the Rougeau scholarship, and the engaging

events of our Arts Council. Working together, we

Inspire, Empower and Engage our community to

create positive change in Corry.



For Good, for Corry, Forever

Pat Goodsel

Board Chair

The mission of the Corry Community Foundation is to improve

For Good, For Corry, Forever

vent it. If you ﬁnd any errors as you are browsing, please accept our sincerest

apology.

JAY ROUGEAU

Corry is a community unlike any other.

When a tragedy strikes, we come together.

Jacques “Jay” Rougeau died in the line of

duty on June 17, 2023. He was 29 years old.

As a student here in Corry, Jay was popular

and well-liked by everyone who knew him.

His million-dollar smile lit up every room he

entered.

Jay was called to law enforcement from

a young age, and held an internship with

the City of Corry Police Department while

majoring in criminal justice at Penn State.

Jay achieved his lifelong dream of

becoming a Pennsylvania State Trooper

on June 28, 2020. Even as a rookie state

trooper, Jay was a standout among his

peers. He did his job, did it well, and did

not seek fanfare or accolades. His future in

law enforcement was bright.

On June 17th 2023, Jay went to work on

his day o to assist his fellow troopers in

an active shooter case. He lost his life

protecting his brothers and sisters in law

enforcement. Jay left behind his high

school sweetheart and bride of 5 years,

Chloe, his mom Angela, sister Christina,

brother Justin, several nieces and

nephews, grandparents, aunts, uncles and

cousins. The outpouring of support for Jay’s

family and friends has been overwhelming

and inspiring.

When Jay’s life was cut short, his friends

and classmates of the Class of 2012

were determined that his memory would

be honored in perpetuity through the

Trooper Jacques “Jay” Rougeau Memorial

Scholarship.

The fundraising that took place to

secure an endowed scholarship was

incredible. The Corry Girls Volleyball

and Boys Basketball teams both held

fundraiser games. Cathedral Prep and

McDowell High School used their rivalry

for a successful fundraiser during their last

regular season boys basketball game.

INSPIREINSPIRE

These eorts, and the initiative of Jay’s classmates, have ensured that Jay will touch the

future of law enforcement through this scholarship. His memory lives on through their

determination.

Governor Josh Shapiro perhaps said it best when he said ‘Jay drove toward danger to

protect the rest of us. We should celebrate his heroism and never forget it.’

Jay Rougeau will not be forgotten and through the scholarship dedicated in his honor, will

continue to inspire others to public service.

Thank you to the following donors whose contributions helped establish

Jay's scholarship

The Corry Community Foundation has a

twenty-four year history of eective and diligent

leadership. One of those leaders, Mary Alice

Hammond, has been empowering people and

organizations since long before our foundation

began.

After graduating from Hamot School of Nursing

in 1951, Mary Alice was immediately hired as

a surgical nurse at Hamot. In 1952 she married

William (Bill) Hammond, Jr. who she met while

visiting family, and moved to Corry. She continued

in her nursing career with Dr. O’Hare until starting

their family, and later served on the board of the

Visiting Nurses of Erie County.

Believing true empowerment comes when you

convert intention into action, Mary Alice

became active in her Corry community. She

joined the Corry Area Fine Arts and the Fine Arts

Auxiliary bringing Thursdays in the Park and the

Missoula Players to our area. Mary Alice served on

the board of the Corry Cancer Society and was

instrumental in planning the original “Relay for Life”

events. Mary Alice professes her most satisfying

project was the creation of the Women’s Garden

of Serenity at the Corry Memorial Hospital, now

LECOM.

In the early 2000s, Mary Alice joined the board of

the Corry Community Foundation on which she

remains an emeritus member. Believing in the

Foundation’s

vision, the

Hammonds

opened the

William and Mary

Alice Hammond

Fund in 2003.

What started

as a minimal

contribution

has grown

to $101,163

providing

unrestricted funds beneﬁting a broad range

of local nonproﬁts. At Bill’s passing in 2017,

Mary Alice began the William and Mary Alice

Hammond Donor Designated Fund for the

Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Corry. This fund

yields annual income for the Episcopal Church

and since 2017 has distributed close to $10,000.

The church will be able to access these funds

in perpetuity. Mary Alice encourages others to

establish an endowment to provide ongoing

support for their nonproﬁt(s) of choice, or

unrestricted funding to enhance the grants

awarded annually to Corry Area nonproﬁts by

the Corry Community Foundation.

Mary Alice is the proud mother of Jane (Bill)

Roche and William “Buzz” (Miki) Hammond III

of Corry, Sue (Denny) Scalise of Erie, and John

(Rizzia) Hammond of Houston, TX. She also

celebrates being a grandmother to eleven

grandchildren and great grandmother to eleven

great grandchildren.

CORRY AREA ARTS COUNCIL

The Corry City Park Gazebo is a popular

place all year, but no more so than in

the summertime when every Thursday a

new band graces its stage to entertain

generations of Corryites. The eorts to

bring new acts and keep summers exciting

in Corry are all thanks to the hard work

and determination of the Corry Area Arts

Council.

The Art Council works under the belief

that bringing exhibits, performances and

productions of artistic and cultural value to

our city, Corry’s residents would not only be

enriched, but also drawn closer together

as a community. Since launching the

summer concert series, the Arts Council has

established itself as a signiﬁcant community

asset, drawing crowds of all ages to their

weekly events.

As Corry’s go-to organization for all

things art, the Council grew to also

accommodate the Artist’s Guild and the

Arts Council Auxiliary, the latter of which,

under the tireless eorts of the late Norma

Lloyd, brought the Missoula Theatre

program to the students of Corry for a

weeklong festivity culminating in a live

stage performance.

Engaging our residents with live music,

providing youth with new artistic mediums

to explore, and bringing the magic of all

aspects of a live performance is what the

Arts Council and their subsidiaries do best.

The Arts Council binds our community

weekly at an event where our residents

from all socioeconomic backgrounds

come together to talk, sing, dance and

connect with each other.

A 12-hour day of giving hosted by the Erie Community Foundation and their aliates, Erie Gives is

a community-spirit event like no other. Taking place online at www.ErieGives.org and at the Erie

Community Foundation and aliate oces, donors can mail or drop o checks or gifts from their

Required Minimum Distributions from their IRA’s to support their favorite nonproﬁts.
