Forza Stefano Foundation

Forza Stefano Foundation was created to honor Stefano Dioguardi's love for water polo. It was a sport that he was passionate about, trained hard to excell at the highest levels, and created special bonds of friendship during his life that was cut too short. It was also a community that immediately rallied to his support in his time of greatest need.

Stefano's dad, Vito, is looking to create an organization that will give back to, and provide continuing support to this special community of
water polo players and their families. Whether it is providing funds to cover travel costs for competitions, or assisting individuals that face catastrophic medical expenses such as Stefano's, there is a profound recognition by his family of the obligation to "pay this generosity forward." The kindness of both friends and strangers, gave hope during the darkest periods of struggle.

Through this organization, the Dioguardi's wish to pass along some of their knowledge and experiences dealing with Ewing's Sarcoma, a rather rare but aggressive form of cancer.
