The dg Foundation was founded in honor of a mother and son with a passion for academics, athletics and art.
Dino was a great artist, athlete, student and a passionate friend. He was an exceedingly kind and humble young man who was open-hearted, inclusive of others, gave of himself freely and used art to creatively express how he perceived the world. His constant desire to help his peers inspired his family and friends to carry on his SPIRIT with this much needed foundation to help others in a similar way that Dino and Nancy would have.
Nancy's greatest passion in life was her family. From a young age, she raised three children to be compassionate, social, giving and positive-minded contributors to society. Nancy's loyalty was to her family, no matter what circumstance, and she made sure that she gave them as much love as possible. Nancy remained a fervent cheerleader of education, even after the passing of her youngest son, Dino. She honored Dino's life and legacy by starting The dg Foundation, giving the opportunity receive a quality education and follow their dreams.
The dg Foundation awards scholarships to Marin Catholic High School, the University of Miami, and improves art programs and athletic facilities that fit the criteria of the foundation’s mission.
