Fund-raising - , Ohio, United States
The Hoody Memorial Fund was established in 2016 in memory of Master Sergeant Corey Hood. The Hoody Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to a Lakota student who possesses the same positive qualities that Hood exhibited throughout his life – a strong will, a desire to succeed, and "a little bit of grit." Hood was a proud Lakota West graduate who played football and wrestled for the school. Corey was a tough athlete both mentally and physically with a lot of heart and a lot of energy. After graduating, Hood enlisted in the Army and reported to boot camp just months before 9/11/2001. Hood served five tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan with the 82nd and 101st Airborne and had earned numerous awards, including two Bronze Stars. He was selected to The US Army Golden Knights, the US Army's elite parachute team, in 2014. The Selection Committee of the scholarship is comprised of Hood's family and friends that grew up with him in West Chester. Even though Hood traveled all over the world, he would always tell people how great West Chester is. Hood loved the town and the school he was from. He would be proud to know that his fund is helping someone from Lakota take the next step in their life.
