The Andy Foundation was formed in 2004 to honor the memory of Andrew Patrick Palmeri. Andy's family, young friends and their parents came together with the mission of helping less fortunate children.
A "by kids-for kids" 501(c) 3 charity, The Andy Foundation raises funds through grass roots events like tag sales, football clinics and bingo parties. Grants, donations, and hands on assistance are given to worthwhile, child-based organizations.
The Andy Foundation can proudly report having distributed more than $1,000,000 in assistance to children in need.
The Andy Foundation received highest recognition for its efforts through its induction into The Long Island Volunteer Hall of Fame in January, 2010.
