The Dick and Jody Vilardo Foundation was created in memory of Richard "Dick" Vilardo and Julianne "Jody" Humphreys Vilardo in the Fall of 2015. Both Dick and Jody lost their lives as a result of a horrific crime committed in their home on Mothers Day, May 10, 2015 . Their deaths left so many friends and family devastated. Dick and Jody were both very passionate about helping others, friends, family, and strangers alike. Through our grief we knew that we had to keep their legacies alive by helping others just as they did throughout their lives. The Vilardo Foundation hopes to continue their philanthropic outlook.
Our focus is on community and giving back to those in need. For Christmas in 2011, Jody gave Louis a "grandparents journal" that she filled out with information on her life. At the end she included "words of wisdom" to guide him as he grows. A Board Member and close friend of Jody's suggested The Vilardo Foundation looks to these "words of wisdom" to guide us as well.
