Seven years ago, our world was flipped upside down when we lost someone extremely special. Dino Ghilotti, a scholar, athlete and artist from San Rafael, CA left this earth at the young age of 22, days after graduating from the University of Miami. Over the past 7 years, the outpour of love, generosity and support from communities near and far, has been overwhelming. The impact that Dino had on hundreds if not thousands of people from all walks of life, has been shown through letters, photos, artwork, tattoos, gatherings, parties, fundraisers, non-profits, even an art studio and multiple athletic facilities named in his honor. These are just a few of the ways we have kept Dino’s love and light shining bright. It’s in tough times when we are shattered and broken that we piece ourselves back together with the help of others, and adapt to create something special, even if it doesn’t take the shape of it’s original form. In less than a decade, the dg Foundation has raised and donated over $2,000,000 in an attempt to carry on Dino’s memory and spirit. This money has been distributed to scholarships to students who exemplify a passion for academics, athletics and arts as well as enhancements to art and athletic facilities in the Bay Area. Thank you to all of our friends and family and the supporters who have allowed us to create something beautiful in light of this tragedy, that will continue to give to and help others, as Dino would have habitually done if he were still physically here. We miss and love you Dino Richard Ghilotti. You’ve truly inspired us. ... See MoreSee Less

We are sorry we had to postpone the Orange and Blue Ball in October due to the most devastating wildfires in the history of Northern California.

For this reason, we have decided to reschedule the fundraiser to Friday, June 8th, 2018. Anything earlier would have been too soon! The good news is that everything will be the same including location Castello di Amorosa, entertainment MUSTACHE HARBOR, and all of our generous sponsors, except now we’ll have some warmer weather and we will also be donating half of the proceeds from the Orange and Blue ball to a fire relief fund in Napa.

Dearest friends and supporters of The dg Foundation:
It is with heavy hearts that we’ve watched the toll that the recent fires have taken on our beloved Santa Rosa, Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino and Lake counties. Today, President Trump and the Governor of California declared a major disaster in the state of California in the counties of Butte, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, Sonoma, and Yuba.
All of us at this stage, have relatives or know someone who has been personally effected by the devastation of this fire storm. After the shock wears off, it is going to take some time to recover, and eventually rebuild the lives, homes and communities affected.
This said, The dg Foundation has decided to postpone the Orange and Blue Ball so that we can focus on the people and businesses that need our support right now. We will determine a date in the near future that makes sense to have the Orange and Blue ball celebration and will let everyone know as soon as possible.
After the event, to help with the relief, we will be donating 50% of the proceeds from your generous donations to supporting the victims most in need after this horrible natural disaster. Today and right now, nothing is more important than our immediate community, family and friends.
Please contact us with any questions.
Until then, we send our love.

We are excited to share this clip of the first families moving into the Oma Village in Novato.
www.ktvu.com/news/231320791-story#
Ghilotti Construction Company has been instrumental in the construction of Oma Village in Novato. Ghilotti Construction, the Richard Ghilotti Family and The dg Foundation worked together to help with the completion of this project through in-kind donations of construction and the donation of funds in honor of Dino, Nancy Ghilotti Motta and her Mother, Oma.
This was such a great opportunity to help the children, mothers, and families in Novato, and was very fitting to honor the spirit of Nancy and her Mother by supporting Oma Village, which shares the same name as Nancy’s mother who was known to everyone as Oma.
The "Nancy Ghilotti Motta Community Center” will be a haven for the children and families at Oma, bringing stability and vitality to the whole Oma community! ... See MoreSee Less

The dg Foundation kicked off 2017 today with a good old-fashioned meeting. The Ghilottis love good old-fashioned meetings.
We have big plans to give back this year and we can't wait to have you join us on the ride through our various events (the Halloween gala in Napa at Castello di Amorosa is back this Fall!). 2016 was a year filled with grants and scholarships, eight in total, and there's only more to come.
We are excited to share more stories of the grant and scholarship recipients with you this year, as well as the worthy projects we've chosen to be a part of.
Though we were missing one board member today, it was a beautiful lunch and afternoon. We had Greg Choma, one of Dino's best friends from University of Miami, officially join the board, and, in between getting down to the business of making a difference (ideas, planning and reviewing 2016), we couldn't help but tell stories of our beloved Dino and Nancy Ghilotti, both whose birthdays are this month, and whom the foundation warmly represents.
And because it's not a Ghilotti event without laughter, our fearless leader, our Dad, brought with him yes and no voice buttons this time, each with various voices and ways of saying yes and no, to respond throughout the meeting (you can imagine how these had us laughing throughout). His light-heartedness really does help lighten us all...
A special shout-out to our ambassadors and event sponsors who helped make 2016, not only successful, but loving, kind and fun. Thank you!
Our gratitude to each one of you for supporting The dg Foundation in all the ways that you did in 2016 and Happy, Happy New Year! ... See MoreSee Less

One year ago today, Nancy Motta Ghilotti passed into the after life, re-uniting with her son Dino. We miss her strength, loyalty and beauty. We miss her loving, humorous and generous personality, and everything that made her the wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend that she was, and still is. Although she is not physically present, we know she's watching over us, just as she always did while she was on earth. A year ago, Nancy was added as an honoree to the foundation and we will continue to honor her legacy forever. We love and miss you, Nancy Motta Ghilotti. ... See MoreSee Less
