The Jack DiSalvo Foundation is proud to announce the appointment of Mr. Tino Graziano, as the latest member to join our Board of Directors. Mr. Graziano was the first ever recipient of the Jack DiSalvo Leadership Scholarship in 2014. Those scholarship funds were applied towards an education at Rutgers University, where he went on to graduate and excel, obtaining a B.S. in Public Health. Since his graduation, Mr. Graziano has been employed as a Senior Lab Technician at Rutgers University Cell and DNA Respiratory (RUCDR) Infinite Biologics, a unit of Rutgers' Human Genetics Institute of NJ.

A Hawthorne, NJ native, Mr. Graziano continues to demonstrate his impressive leadership skills, while focusing his career on cancer and infectious disease research - all during a time of significant public health concern. The Jack DiSalvo Foundation formally welcomes Mr. Graziano to our Board, as we begin a new chapter within our foundation, with an increased commitment to our Cancer Awareness Programs and related initiatives, to be led by Mr. Graziano.
