Cory was a three sport athlete, playing baseball, football and basketball. He was talented, bright, kind, funny, and loved his family. Cory tragically lost his life in 2018, before his dreams could become reality.
During their most difficult hours, Cory's family made the loving and selfless decision to give the Gift Of Life to others, determined that their greatest loss would become the greatest gift to others in need.
Cory's family was able to change, improve and even save the lives of 5 people through organ and tissue donation. One of those people whose life was saved is the President and Co-Founder of CC SAFE, Jonathan Ford. Jonathan had been admitted to the ICU, confined to bed for weeks; his heart was failing due to the sudden effects of the hereditary genetic disorder, Amyloidosis. Jonathan received the Gift Of Life, a heart transplant, from the Calcagni family's act of love. A former athlete and an athletic coach for decades, Jonathan vowed to honor Cory's life, his love of sports, his kind spirit, and his memory. To that end, The Cory Calcagni Student Athlete Financial Endowment was born.
CC SAFE is awaiting federally designated 501(c)3 tax exemption approval. We are 100% volunteer operated and are funded solely through the generosity of donors and fundraising events.
The Cory Calcagni Student Athlete Financial Endowment (CC SAFE)
aims to support student athletes of any age
who may not otherwise be able to compete due to financial constraints.
We believe that every athlete deserves the opportunity
to pursue their passion and realize their true potential
without the impediment of financial barriers.

Your generous donation helps us provide essential financial support to student athletes who
might otherwise miss the opportunity
to participate in athletics.
With your help we can cover costs like uniforms, equipment and travel fees, level the playing field and ensure every athlete
has the opportunity to compete.
CC SAFE is a 100% donation funded, 100% volunteer operated small charitable organization.
At this time only one "Cory Cares Award" (one full season of athletic expense support) can be granted per year. We are a relatively new organization; while we plan to expand our ability to help,
we know it will take time to grow.
In addition to the "Cory Cares Award" we may also fulfill smaller requests for support needs, as funding allows. Please fill out a contact form on this site if you are in need of assistance.
We read and reply to every email.
