The Korey Stringer Institute, located in Storrs Mansfield, was founded in memory of former NFL player Korey Stringer, who tragically passed away from exertional heat stroke in 2001. Korey's wife, Kelci, has dedicated herself to advancing research and education on exertional heat stroke since his untimely death. With a focus on preventing heat-related injuries in athletes, the institute honors Korey's legacy by promoting safety and awareness in sports and physical activity, striving to ensure that no one else suffers the same fate as the beloved pro-bowler.
