Leading with a Legacy.

The mission of the NVN Foundation is to lead and love through a legacy. 

 The NVN Foundation, in honor and in memory of Nicholas Val Napolitano, was established to keep Nick's legacy alive by contributing to worthy causes in his name and selecting those organizations that participate in the activities he loved and embody the qualities he represented. 

Since its start in 2011, the NVN Foundation has grown into something we know Nick would be proud of – a foundation dedicated to helping youth, young adults and organizations in our community see their dreams become a reality whether in the classroom or on the field. 

Nick loved traveling and experiencing different places and cultures. It was his greatest passion. Whether he was with his family, studying abroad with friends or visiting a new city or country, Nick was always on the move.

Help us fill in the map: what better way to celebrate his spirit than to share the cool places you are visiting. If you find yourself traveling and thinking of Nick, take a snapshot of your wristband and the background and email your photos to contactnvnfoundation@gmail.com so we can share them, too. Feel free to reach out to us if you need a wristband, we are happy to send you some. 

We know Nick is with us in spirit on all of our travel adventures.

Our hope is that the NVN Foundation can inspire people to put the good of others before their own. From sports to education to youth outreach programs, we are dedicated to making a difference in our community by leading and loving through a legacy.
