"Providing an Even Playing Field for All Student Athletes."

We are the ONE and ONLY Student Athlete Foundation. We established The Foundation to honor Parisi Academy's legacy of excellence and its mission to shape student-athletes into exemplary role models.

In 2024, after being a part of Parisi Academy for several years, we found ourselves having conversations with families that ended with “we cannot afford…” We would make phone calls on behalf of our student-athletes, submit stellar recommendations, and have our students’ performances speak for themselves only to have those words resurface. To no fault of their own, student-athletes are being derailed from their academic and athletic goals. As experienced educators for close to 20 years, who started our careers in lower-income districts, this sounded all too familiar. 

Why are these students denied the opportunity for greatness solely due to financial hardships? And so the Foundation was born. Providing an even playing field for all student-athletes... Past, Present, and Future!
