The DeSantis Family Charitable Foundation was created in 2002 to carry on the good works of brothers Carmine and Robert DeSantis. Successful Staten Island businessmen, they understood the importance of giving back. Carmine, a Rotarian, and Robert, a Kiwanian, were passionate advocates for various charitable causes, particularly those benefiting children both in Staten Island and abroad. Notably, Carmine made national headlines for his work securing medical treatment and prosthetics for children of the civil war in Sierra Leone.

It's this legacy that The DeSantis Family Charitable Foundation seeks to uphold: helping to level the playing field for Staten Island's most vulnerable children, and carrying on the selfless work of the men it seeks to honor.

The DeSantis Family Charitable Foundation is a volunteer-only organization.
All proceeds go directly towards helping children with special needs.
