The JJ Nicastro Foundation is not strictly limited to only awarding scholarships, the foundation participated in The Relay for Life and dontaed money to The American Cancer Society and also gave generous donations to The Gloucester Stage Co. The JJ Nicastro Foundation is a well rounded organization that contributes to worthy causes worldwide such as the Haiti Relief Fund. We are working on a Mentor Program for the Cape Ann area. The contributions the foundation provides are vast. Donations don't always have to be monetary. If you would like to get involved please contact us.

It's expensive for families to pay for athletic fees, equipment, college and even sometimes a hearty turkey dinner on Thanksgiving. Places like Captain Carlos, Jalapenos and Gorton's, who allow us to use their establishment to raise funds, are what charity is all about. The JJ Nicastro Foundation gave back to the community this past year by giving college and athletic scholarships to deserving students and purchasing Thanksgiving dinners for families in need. Our goal is to give between $25,000-$30,000 per year in scholarships, dinners and whatever else we see fit. Your donations are giving back directly to the children of this community. It's wrong for a child not to play sports because his parents can't afford it. So let's make it a goal to raise enough money that all children have a chance to make the team. Thank you all for your generosity and continued support.

The 2009 JJ Nicastro Halloween Bash was a lot of fun and the costumes were great as usual. Thank you to everyone who showed up and supported the foundation. A special thank you to the Gloucester House Restaurant and DJ Tony Davis for contributing to a great event.

The 2009 JJ Nicastro Fall Classic Softball Tournament like the Texas Hold'em Tournament was a huge success. There were some incredible softball games and the competition was amazing. We haven't seen such close, back-and-forth games in a tournament in a long time. Thank you to all the participants and all the sponsors who helped make this day such an amazing event. Thank you to all of our family and friends who donated their time, money and abilities. We wouldn't be able to hold these fundraisers without the many volunteers who step up to the plate and help us out. We feel as if just saying thank you isn't enough because of the hard work you all put into these events, but that's all we can offer. Congratulations to the champions, Budget, for a great run at the title and a memorable ending to a memorable tournament. PLO gave Budget a run for their money and they are surely becoming one of the major teams to beat in these one pitch tournaments.

We would like to give a special thank you to Matty Donovan for helping us out with the foundation events in a way no other person has. Thanks Matty we really appreicate all you've done.

We are going have many fundraisers throughout the year in order to raise money for the college and youth athletic scholarships. Click here to view upcoming events. If you would like to get involved or have an event idea please go to the Contact Us page and get in touch with me.
