Our Mission
The Pat Covelli Foundation was founded in 1999 after the death of our beloved brother, Pasquale.
Pat fought many health-related battles, including diabetes and kidney disease, throughout most of his adult life, before succumbing to his illnesses in 1998 at the age of 44.
Throughout his many health-related struggles, he always managed to make every possible effort to help others afflicted with ailments similar to his and those in his community requiring assistance of any type. His strength, compassion and courage were an inspiration to all who knew him.
A CHAMPION.
