Joe Sr was an amazing husband, father, Pop-Pop, and friend. His main goal in life was to make others happy. Whether it was through an act of kindness, a “funny” joke, or helping customers at his store, Puns Toys in Bryn Mawr, Joe wanted to see you smile.
At a young age, Joe was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, which led to him battling many other conditions throughout his life—but he never gave up hope. At age 50, Joe was blessed to receive a kidney-pancreas transplant from an organ donor. Ten years later, Joe was in need of a second kidney transplant when his son Joe Jr selflessly stepped up to donate a kidney to his dad. Their bond continued through their involvement as volunteers with the nonprofit Help Hope Live, a national charity that helps place lifesaving transplants within reach of thousands of families each year by supporting community-based fundraising campaigns to help cover the cost of unmet medical expenses.
Please join us for the 1st Annual Joe Berardoni Sr Memorial Golf Tournament to pay tribute to a man who truly embodied the words and actions of “Help, Hope, and Live” throughout his life.
All proceeds will benefit Help Hope Live and its work to help families affected by catastrophic illnesses or injuries access the care and equipment they need to heal, live, and thrive.
