. . . discipline, a deep sense of community, generosity and a positive attitude . . .

Joe was an avid sports enthusiast
who devoted a great deal of his time to working with young athletes. In addition to the rules of the game, he taught his players the ideals of sportsmanship so that they could develop their characters as young men and women of integrity.

The Joseph R. Riverso Memorial Foundation is proud to further the activities and principals espoused by Joe during his lifetime.

The Foundation is funded through the generous support of Joe's friends and loved ones with the annual golf outing as our main fundraiser.

Since 2002, the Foundation has awarded various scholarships to graduating seniors at Archbishop Stepinac High School via the Joseph R. Riverso Memorial Scholarship and has funded the Joseph R. Riverso Memorial Lineman Award given to the best lineman on the varsity football team. In 2009, the Foundation began awarding scholarships to incoming at-need students. The Foundation is also a proud sponsor of the Joseph R. Riverso Memorial Football Game at Stepinac, which for many years featured a special night game enabling players to experience the excitement of playing under lights.

We Will Never Forget . . .

We truly appreciate all those who have contributed in Joe's memory and who will not forget those who perished and gave their lives in the name of freedom and our country.
