Last but definitely not least, our last sponsor we would love to take a moment this morning to highlight and thank for their generosity. Lucky Bean supplied us with the coffee this morning to get our skiers and officials moving! They also provided two bags of their coffee to raffle off today at our 2026 PA Waterski Championship! Thank you so much Lucky Bean- it smells delicious brewing right now!!

At Lucky Bean , we’ve always believed coffee is just the starting point. The best conversations, friendships, and ideas happen when people have a reason to get together, so we started building spaces that make those connections happen.

Today, our community clubs bring together hundreds of people across Erie through running, basketball, books, and more. Every club is free to join, open to everyone, and built around the same idea: show up, meet good people, and be part of something bigger than yourself. Whether it’s your first time or you’ve been with us since day one, there’s always a place for you.

We’re just getting started. As our community continues to grow, so will the opportunities to connect. We hope you’ll join us at the next meetup and help shape what Lucky Bean becomes.

Recognition is deserved even though they say there’s no need to. When hard work sees hard work and supports it for all of us to get us skiers bibbed up at the 2026 PA States Waterski Championships! Billy McLaughlin, owner of Bill’s Pool Care of South Florida, felt the excitement of the tournament and the sport so he sponsored without hesitation! Thank you so much!

There is no website as Bill’s Pool Care has developed and sustains growth all by word of mouth for South Florida homes but feel free to message to inquire for more information!🌊

At little about Corey…

PEACE, LOVE &WATER SKIING
Sometimes I still pinch myself to make sure I’m not dreaming. I have been living my life’s dream since 2009, and it just keeps unfolding in surprising, fulfilling and exciting ways. From my daily activities at the Bum Pass Water Ski Club to my interactions with people all over the world, while coaching or skiing on the pro tour, I aim to stay rooted in the mission that animates my entire career: to spread, foster and promote the three things I hold dear - Peace, Love & Waterskiing.
