The La Gr7nta Award, named in memory of Jason Di Tullio, highlights individuals who embody his unyielding spirit and passion for the game. This year’s raffle featured all nominees, and two remarkable recipients were chosen: Jessica Fidhi and Antoine Chabtini, both from our FindME Showcase events.

Jessica and Antoine were surprised with $5,000 Jason Di Tullio Athletic Scholarships, designed to support their academic and soccer journeys in the United States. Their nominations were a testament to their La Gr7nta spirit—unrelenting determination and exceptional leadership on and off the pitch.

This celebration was also an opportunity to spotlight the incredible work of the Di Tullio Foundation, which raised over $50,000 through its inaugural fundraiser gala to support Dr. Bassam Abdulkarim’s research at the MUHC for Glioblastoma research. The foundation’s dedication to preserving Jason’s legacy and uplifting young athletes has created meaningful opportunities and strengthened the soccer community as a whole.

The spirit of La Gr7nta was alive and well as we celebrated the achievements of Jessica and Antoine. Their stories remind us all of the power of resilience and the impact of community support.

Congratulations to Jessica and Antoine, and a heartfelt thank you to everyone who played a role in today’s celebration. Together, we carry forward Jason’s legacy by supporting the next generation of athletes who embody his values on and off the field.
