Happy Heavenly Birthday, Nick!

Today we celebrate the life, heart, and legacy of Nicholas D. Sergi - the inspiration behind Giving Makes You Smile.

Nick had a way of lighting up a room with his kindness, humor, and genuine love for others. He believed in showing up, giving back, and making people feel seen; values that continue to guide everything we do.

Though he’s no longer with us, his spirit lives on in every act of generosity, every smile shared, and every life touched through this Foundation. What began from heartbreak in 2018 has grown into a mission rooted in faith, compassion, and the belief that even the smallest act of kindness can make a lasting impact.

Today, we honor Nick by doing what he did best - spreading joy, lifting others up, and giving from the heart.

Happy Birthday, Nick. Your legacy continues to inspire us every single day. 😇♥️

This verse reminds us that giving, when it comes from the heart, brings joy. At The Nicholas D. Sergi Foundation, we see this lived out every day through you.

Your generosity, compassion, and belief in our mission are the reason “Giving Makes You Smile” isn’t just a tagline—it’s a truth, straight from the Word of the Lord that Nick followed so closely.

Thank you for supporting us this year and for giving so cheerfully. Together, we’ve made a real difference. Happy New Year! 😀 ♥️ 🙌
