DCCF awards scholarships to young, compassionate people in pursuit of their dreams. DCCF has awarded more than $100,000 in scholarships to athletes, artists, musicians, dancers, and outdoorspeople.
The family, friends and admirers of Dan Cardillo, a compassionate young man with a true love of life and its possibilities, established the Daniel Cardillo Charitable Fund in 1999. Dan was a junior Olympic skier, an avid fisherman, a serious student, a gifted artist and an exceptionally kind human being. He lived life fully and attacked all of his challenges with a passion that has become legendary. He encouraged others to do their personal best and reach for their goals.
This fund celebrates Dan's passion for life and his friends by encouraging others to achieve their personal best. Scholarship assistance is provided to young people pursuing their artistic, academic, athletic, and vocational or life's passion outside of the traditional school environment (i.e. experiential education, tuition for summer programs or studies, special athletic instruction). Applicants must demonstrate a need for financial assistance, clearly demonstrate a commitment to their passion, and demonstrate a compassion for others.
