My name is Christine Russo, and I am raising funds for my nonprofit, Change the Game for Dom Foundation, created in honor of my little brother, Dominic Russo, and his friend, Davion, whose lives were tragically taken in 2022.

Through this foundation, we are determined to turn pain into purpose by helping underprivileged children gain access to the game Dom loved most — basketball. Our mission is to provide kids in need with new basketball shoes, equipment, uniforms, and opportunities they may not otherwise have. We hope to sponsor teams, support local leagues, and ensure that financial hardship never stops a child from playing the sport they love.

Change the Game for Dom Foundation is about more than basketball — it’s about giving children confidence, community, mentorship, and hope while keeping Dom’s spirit and passion alive through every child we help.
