VICTOR CIARDELLI '85 INSPIRED TO GIVE Victor Ciardelli '85, founder and President of Guaranteed Rate, started the Guaranteed Rate Foundation in 2012. Since its inception, the foundation has granted $2.4 million to 1,027 individuals, not to nonprofits, as do other corporate foundations. The grants "give people a chance to just breathe," said Victor Ciardelli in a recent Crain's Chicago Business interview. The foundation is funded by employee contributions, fundraisers and corporate sponsors. "I don't want to give money if it's going to salaries," he said, noting that Guaranteed Rate covers all foundation expenses. New this year, the foundation wants to help women who have experienced domestic violence. Ciardelli wants the foundation to eventually grant $5 million or $10 million a year.

CHARITY GAME A SUCCESS
Last week the Football Moms and Montini Maniacs hosted the Annual Charity Game benefiting the JAW Foundation. The "Johnny Always Wins" game honors Johnny Weiger who passed away during his sophomore year at Montini. Students and fans were able to purchase T-shirts, candy bars and raffle tickets to help raise funds for the JAW Foundation. Congratulations to Frank Conforti III '19 (son of Frank Conforti '86) on winning the "Spirit of Johnny Award" which is awarded to a Varsity Football Player who best exemplifies the spirit of Johnny Weiger. The Weiger Family presented the award prior to the Varsity game. Past recipients of this award are AJ Melarkey '14, Sam Asta '15, Sam Detmers '16, Brendan Rauen '16 and Rian O'Connor '18 (son of Tim O'Connor '87). Click here to read more about the Charity Game.
