Gentile Family

The Big Heart Scholarship is funded by the Gentile Family in memory of Jonathan Gentile, who tragically passed away in a kayaking accident at the age of 38. This scholarship aims to honor his legacy of kindness and support for others by providing financial assistance to high school students at Bethel Park High School who demonstrate a commitment to helping others and fostering an inclusive environment. The scholarship emphasizes character over academic performance, encouraging students to share their experiences of kindness and community service in their applications.
