Our Legacy

Beaumont, TX
A Life Devoted to Service
The Coach's Kids Corion Thomas Foundation was established in 2015 in the memory of Coach Corion Thomas. Coach Thomas dedicated his life to empowering young people to reach their full potential. He had a passion for developing youth confidence, which included both the inward and outward appearance.
Coach Thomas diligently worked behind the scenes to give youth the best chance in making their personal dreams come true. He would help with tutorials and making sure students were keeping up with their studies, clothing, hair cuts and styles, shoes — all using his own time, talents and resources.
The Foundation is keeping his legacy alive through initiatives that provide access to education, extracurricular activities, employment programs, and emergency resources. The Foundation currently offers book scholarships, educational field trip scholarships, gift bags for the elderly and women's shelter, teacher assistance to cover classroom necessities, and partners with various organizations for back-to-school supply drives.

In addition, we are committed to serving the broader community through initiatives that enrich the lives of seniors, organize clothing drives, provide meals to those experiencing homelessness, and create meaningful opportunities for community engagement and support.
