Honoree: Peter Pellegrito was a lead associate in the practice management group at AXA Equitable. He died on February 1, 2015 after suffering a brain aneurysm. His kidneys were donated to patients on Staten Island, including two women, one in her 30’s and another in her 20’s. His corneas were donated to two men; and his liver and six heart valves were donated as well. The Pellegrito family is a long-standing Sacred Heart Family. Their children all attended Sacred Heart School and the parents were active supporters of the school and parish. Since the death of their son, Peter, Mr. & Mrs. Pellegrito have established a Peter Pellegrito “Pay it Forward” scholarship that has been given at Sacred Heart’s Graduation ceremony for the last two years.
