Beaumont, TX
A Life Devoted to Service
The Coach's Kids Corion Thomas Foundation was established in 2015 in loving memory of Coach Corion Thomas — a dedicated mentor, coach, and community leader who devoted his life to helping young people believe in themselves and reach their full potential.
Coach Thomas understood that confidence is built from the inside out. Whether he was helping students stay on track academically, providing clothing, shoes, haircuts, or simply offering encouragement, he consistently used his time, talents, and personal resources to support youth and help them pursue their dreams.
Today, the Foundation continues his legacy by creating opportunities for students and families through education, community support, scholarships, youth development, and outreach initiatives. Since 2015, we have awarded book scholarships to graduating seniors pursuing career training and higher education, while also supporting teachers, seniors, women's shelters, and families in need.
Who We Serve
The Community We Stand For
Our primary focus is supporting and empowering grade school students through educational and developmental programs that foster growth, confidence, and opportunity.
We also serve the broader community through outreach efforts that support seniors, individuals experiencing homelessness, women's shelters, teachers, and families in need. Through partnerships, donation drives, scholarships, and community events, we work to uplift people of all ages and continue the legacy of Coach Corion Thomas.
