Don Ferrarese, a 15 year veteran of professional baseball, has dedicated himself to community and charitable service since retiring in 1962, most notably starting the Don Ferrarese Charitable Foundation. Since starting the foundation in 2005, the organization has empowered our local youth by awarding forty-six (46) $4,000 scholarships to college bound seniors based solely upon their charitable and community service. Don will award eleven additional $4,000 scholarships annually. The 2010 applicants donated over 50,000 hours to community service projects. Additionally, Don sponsors an annual Veterans tribute, honoring our American Heroes, an annual toy drive, and started the celebration of life scholarship for Moses House Ministries, offering five $500 scholarships to mothers of children under five, who complete life and parenting skills courses.
