The Frank Varischetti Foundation was established in 2007 to commemorate the late Frank Varischetti while carrying on his vision of bettering communities and helping others.

His name is most often associated with the qualities of hard work and generosity. He was a charismatic and motivational leader, and also the first one to lend a helping hand. Frank was a very hard worker who always had a vision and a drive to succeed. In addition, he was a charitable man who gave from the bottom of his heart and never expected anything in return. He was a strong advocate for giving back to his community and helping those in need.

Varischetti passed away on Aug. 22, 2002, but his spirit lives on through the mission of The Frank Varischetti Foundation, which is to continue his good will and keep his memory alive by helping those in need.
