The Joseph R. Di Bella Memorial Fund - A Private Family Benevolence Fund has been established in honor and memory of Joseph R. Di Bella and officially launched at his fifth annual Celebration of Life.

Joe was someone who cared deeply about family, helping others, bringing people together, sharing good food, working with his hands, and making memories with the people around him. Our goal is to make sure that his memory continues to do good long into the future.

This is intended to be an ongoing memorial fund that can continue growing year after year.

Funds may be used to support:

1. The annual Joseph R. Di Bella Celebration of Life
2. Memorial projects and activities in Joe's honor
3. Families or individuals experiencing meaningful needs or important life events
4. Education and family-planning assistance
5. Medical needs and other personal assistance
6. Local community projects
7. Charitable causes and organizations
8. Gifts to people or causes meaningful to Joe and our family
9. Other projects and opportunities that continue Joe's spirit of generosity and helping others

Beginning with future Celebrations of Life, the Fund will also provide an annual Joseph R. Di Bella Celebration of Life Gift.

Leading up to each year's Celebration, meaningful projects, needs, families, or causes will be considered, and members of Joe's memorial community will have an opportunity to help choose what that year's gift will support. The selected recipient, project, or cause will then be announced at the annual Celebration of Life.

The Fund is intended to continue beyond any one year or one project. Contributions that are not immediately used will remain in the Fund to help support future Celebrations, gifts, assistance, memorial projects, and other opportunities to do good in Joe's name.

Most importantly, this is about creating something lasting from the love and memories that continue to bring everyone together for Joe.

Whether someone contributes financially, attends the Celebration of Life, shares a memory, volunteers, or simply continues to remember Joe, every part of keeping his memory alive matters.

We hope that years from now we will be able to look back and see countless people, families, projects, and causes that were helped because Joe's memory continued inspiring people to do good.

Thank you for helping us celebrate and remember Joseph R. Di Bella and for being part of something we hope will continue for generations.
