Celebrating inclusion, compassion, and the power of sport
Created by Linda Ferlito in memory of her husband, John, the Ferlito Family Fund carries forward a legacy of service, generosity, and commitment to others. John devoted his life to serving the Kent community and had a special passion for coaching young people with disabilities and supporting Special Olympics athletes.
The fund supports Special Olympics programs and athletes at Kent Roosevelt High School, helping create opportunities for athletes of all abilities to participate, build confidence, develop friendships, and experience the joy of competition.
Through this fund, John’s legacy lives on in every athlete encouraged, every barrier overcome, and every opportunity to shine.
