The Anthony DeMartino Foundation
About Us:
Welcome to The Anthony DeMartino Foundation website. Our foundation is a non-profit, 501c(3) organization committed to raising funds for Muscular Dystrophy research and also supports programs that assist children living with Muscular Dystrophy. We draw our inspiration from the life of Anthony DeMartino. Anthony had Duchenne's Muscular Dystrohy, which is one of the most common and most severe forms of this disease. Despite his diagnosis, Anthony never let any obstacle stand in his way. In 2006, Anthony graduated from Tottenville High School with high honors. He was your typical teenager that loved to watch the Mets and Jets, play Smack Down on his Playstation, and spend time with his family and friends. He was an avid reader and writer of poetry, and had a great talent for drawing. What's most special about Anthony, was his unique way of captivating you with his bright smile, intelligence, and amazing strength. He is a true symbol of courage and perseverance to those that were close to him. In honor of Anthony’s character, The Anthony DeMartino Foundation strives to improve the lives of children facing similar obstacles in life.
Our Mission:
The Anthony DeMartino Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides support and hope to children diagnosed with life-threatening diseases. Our main objective is to build awareness of Muscular Dystrophy and provide monetary donations to charitable organizations; specifically, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, The Make a Wish Foundation, and Saint Jude’s Hospital.
