During this milestone year, the Corey C. Griffin Foundation (CCGF) is pleased to announce the selection of Joe Zink as the new Chair and Casey Griffin Guidicelli as Vice Chair of our Board of Directors.
Over the past 10 years, CCGF has defined itself as a philanthropic leader in the greater Boston area and surrounding region. Grounded in its remembrance of Corey Griffin (1986-2014) and his passion for service, youth, faith, and giving, the Foundation lives its values and continues to define its work based on compassion.
Maintaining his commitment to CCGF since its founding in 2014, Joe has served on the Board for 10 years prior to assuming his leadership role. He is currently the Chief Executive Officer of Atlantic Management, with a tenure of over 30 years with the company.
“As we honor the Foundation’s ten years of service, we are strategically positioned to evolve into a sustainable organization with deeply collaborative and lasting partnerships in the Boston area,” Joe said, reflecting on CCGF’s goals. “These community partnerships enable us to work more intentionally through our philanthropy and engagement as we strive to create a better and more accessible world for today’s children and young adults.”
CCGF supports local partners that ensure the health, safety, education, and success of Boston area youths from preK to adulthood, including Boston Children’s Hospital, Campaign for Catholic Schools, My Brother’s Keeper, Police Activities League of Massachusetts (formerly Boston Police Activities League), Ron Burton Training Village, and the St. John Paul II Catholic Academies.
“Our commitment remains to keep Corey’s spirit and legacy alive,” said Casey, Corey’s younger sister and ongoing Foundation ambassador. “Every day, we work to bring that energy into our relationships with our partner programs and the kids we serve, children we affectionately call ‘Corey’s Kids’. We want every child to have the opportunity to dream and succeed.”
Casey is a Capital Markets Associate at Newmark.
