Dave Dozzo, standing tall for the Mario Dozzo Foundation, marked a significant moment at the 2022 W.I.S.E. Scholarship Influencers Dinner. His presence was a testament to our deep-rooted partnership with The Steele Family Foundation’s – W.I.S.E. Scholarship Program. In a committed pursuit of bettering educational opportunities for children, we proudly contributed a substantial sum of $3 million. This philanthropic effort resonates profoundly, not just within our foundation, but also among organizations The Steele Family Foundation directly supports. With beneficiaries including The Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale, Matthew McConaughey’s ‘just keep living’ foundation and others alike who strive to support and uplift ‘Stranded Superstars’ on their journey towards becoming socially responsible global citizens.
