Our mission is to bring hope and opportunity to students in need by awarding scholarships that make higher education attainable. We believe education is a catalyst for lasting change, enriching lives, supporting families, and building stronger communities—one smile at a time.

The Pedro & John DeBrito Foundation is a nonprofit organization originally established in 2014 following the passing of our beloved brother, Pedro, in honor of his enduring legacy of positively impacting others—not only on the soccer field, but also among his family and friends.

In March 2020, we experienced another profound loss with the passing of our youngest brother, John, who shared that same spirit of influence and compassion. It is only fitting that the Foundation now stands in tribute to both of these remarkable individuals.

Since 2015, the Foundation has proudly awarded more than $75,000 in scholarships to 60 deserving students.
