DANTE CARANCI FOUNDATION
A registered not-for-profit based in London, Ontario.
Helping kids access organized sports and offering support to families after loss, in loving memory of Dante.
#PlayForDante.
Dante’s light continues to inspire every purpose of this foundation.
Founded after the loss of 7-year-old Dante Caranci, a joyful, kind, hockey-loving boy, we carry forward his spirit by creating opportunity, joy, and community support for others.
What We Do
Youth Sport Access
We help children from low-income families participate in organized sports, especially hockey, by covering fees, equipment, and registration costs. Every kid deserves the chance to play, grow, and belong.
Family Support After Loss
We provide compassionate financial and emotional support to families navigating the unimaginable loss of a child, offering community, resources, and care when it’s needed most.
Community Collaboration
We partner with local groups to promote safety initiatives (like the No Excuses Bus Safety Collaboration) and build a stronger, safer community for kids and families.
Honouring Dante’s love for hockey, friendship, and laughter.
Dante was a boy who approached every day with kindness and joy, whether on the ice or with his family and friends. His legacy reminds us to love deeply, be kind always, and give generously.
“Love You More.”
A phrase shared in Dante’s home, always said with love, always with a smile.
