GOLD CLUB
GRADUATES OF THE LAST DECADE
2023-2024
FOR OVER 40 YEARS, MR. PARISI HAS SERVED AS A TEACHER, COACH, MENTOR, AND FRIEND TO GENERATIONS OF LA SALLE STUDENTS.
Whether it was teaching Social Studies, World Cultures, and Psychology, serving as Athletic Director and Head Baseball Coach, or performing the role of Campus Minister, Joe’s impact and dedication to LSCHS are ingrained in the fabric of the experience here. Now, his legacy will forever live on through the creation of the Joseph Parisi Endowment Fund.
Established in 2022 through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo Cuoci, this initiative honors Joe’s legacy and provides financial aid to students demonstrating need with a preference to young men participating in the Boys & Girls Club of Philadelphia. A long-time advocate of the Boys & Girls Club, Joe has overseen numerous milestones for the club, and believes this partnership will further extend opportunities to thrive for young men from varied backgrounds.
“The Boys & Girls Clubs is excited to embrace our partnership with the Joseph Parisi Endowment Fund through the La Salle Alumni Annual Fund Appeal. This fund will support young men from some of our city’s most economically distressed communities and neighborhoods who need it now more than ever. We truly value and appreciate Joe Parisi for his dedication and commitment to the kids we serve. We are also grateful for the young alumni of La Salle for following in Joe’ s footsteps with their unwavering leadership and support to build and expand the fund’s potential. ”
The Graduates of the Last Decade (GOLD) Club represents our young alumni who believe in supporting the school at a young age. Focused solely on participation, we ask that our young alums consider a nominal participation-based gift (even $5, $10, or $20!) to stay connected and show their class pride.
