Initiatives

Creating opportunities and strengthening communities.

Our initiatives are focused on bringing people together, supporting young people, and creating opportunities that carry Mike’s spirit of generosity forward.

The Michael Sacco Community Center

Our first initiative is to raise $1 million to help make the Michael Sacco Community Center a reality in Mike’s hometown. If we reach our $1 million goal, the building will permanently bear Mike’s name as the Michael Sacco Community Center. The center will be a permanent place where children can gather after school for sports and recreation, older adults can connect during the day, and families and neighbors can come together. For those who knew Mike, it is hard to imagine a more fitting place to begin. Mike understood the importance of showing up, investing in people, and creating opportunities for others. The Community Center gives us a chance to put those values into action and carry them forward for another generation.
