Away from the ring, however, he also had connections with charitable causes involving children, young people, veterans and families facing difficult circumstances. Following his death, that part of his life has become the focus of a new fundraising effort.

Its remit includes supporting vulnerable individuals and families, helping young people access opportunities and backing registered non-profit organisations whose work relates to athletics, medical needs, education and community development.The initiative also gives donors a way to contribute to causes associated with Hogan’s public and personal life.

Rather than being limited to one specific programme, the fund has been set up to support a range of activities that fit within its charitable objectives.Scholarships, sports and support for families Young people and families are among the groups identified in the fund’s plans.

Its stated areas of support include scholarships, sports programmes and wellness initiatives, with direct assistance intended for people who may otherwise struggle to access those opportunities.Sports form a clear part of the fund’s remit, reflecting Hogan’s long association with professional wrestling and athletics.
