Mr.Clemente was a great athlete and a greater humanitarian.
He perished when the airplane he chartered crashed while he was attempting to deliver aid to his native Puerto Rico after the island was devastated by a hurricane.
He was at the height of his athletic prowess when he died.
The Black Rock Foundation salutes Roberto Clemente for his heroism and his humanitarianism.
Those words weren’t just something Roberto Clemente believed—they were how he chose to live.
Every child reached, every family supported, and every opportunity created through the Roberto Clemente Foundation is another chance to put those words into action.
You can help carry that legacy forward. Join us at the Ambassadors’ Reception in Pittsburgh on September 11 and be part of an evening that directly supports the programs, opportunities, and community work inspired by Roberto’s life of service.

Thank you for helping us continue a mission built on compassion, service, and the belief that making a difference is the greatest legacy of all.
