Hey Karen! It’s Shannon O’Neill. Thomas O’Neills mom.
It was so great meeting you and Bill last night! Thank you for extending the invitation to me. I cannot thank you enough for all of your generosity for my boy. From the little time we spent last night I was able to see what kind and warm hearts you and Bill have.
Tom will honor the number 9 and make your foundation proud on behalf of your angel, Christian. ❤️
Hope you and Bill have a great weekend!
Dear Santo Family,
I hope you and your family are doing great! I wanted to reach out and thank you again for the Christian J. Santo Legacy Foundation Scholarship that I received in 2021.
Without the generosity of the foundation I would not be where I am today. I had a lot of adversity in my life, struggling with depression and anxiety and my parents divorce. I always keeping pushing forward and trusting that it will all work out.
The scholarship gave me the opportunity to play baseball at STAC and pursue a degree in Sports Management. I had an amazing time during my two years at STAC. I worked very hard and earned myself a degree in Sports Management while pitching for the baseball team. I also achieved Dean’s list for my last two semesters.
I am now pursuing my dream to play professional baseball. I will be trying out for independent ball teams like the New York Boulders and Long Island Ducks.
I am so thankful for you and your family and I am honored to carry on Christian’s mission and legacy. Keep in touch!

“Hey Karen! It’s Frank Mirabella. I’ve been meaning to text you for the longest time, but saying I’ve been busy is a huge understatement, haha, I’m sorry! I just wanted to check in and I really hope you’re well. I wanted to thank you so much again for giving me the opportunity to continue chasing my dreams because if it wasn’t for your generosity, I wouldn’t be here today. Once again, I hope you’re doing well, and I miss you and everyone at the Max more than anything. I can’t wait to see everyone soon ❤️. Love you, Karen, thanks for everything again.
I responded and spoke with him to give him support.” – Frank’s Family
Drew’s Mom
As with many first-year college students, Drew had many adjustments to make from transitioning to living at home attending high school to living away and attending college. Within a short time, Drew has adjusted nicely and has gained more responsibility and independence. His grades now are better than they have ever been and I along with my family are so proud of how far Drew has come. All of these wonderful experiences and successes would not have been possible if he had not received the scholarship and the support of the Christian J. Santo Foundation. From Drew, my family, my friends, and I, we want to extend our thanks, appreciation, and gratitude to the foundation for the life-changing experiences it has afforded Drew.
