Pagnozzi Charities was formally founded in 1999 by former University of Arkansas Razorback alumni and coach, Tom Pagnozzi. Pagnozzi Charities programs continue to make a huge impact on our community. The charity was conceived by Tom and then head baseball coach Norm DeBriyn as a way for "Pags" to give back to the program that launched his professional career. What began in 1991 as the Razorback Foundation's Celebrity Golf Tournament and Auction, eventually evolved into the Tom Pagnozzi Charity Golf Tournament, Banquet and Sports Memorabilia Auction. Now in its 15th year, the annual event continues to be a gateway of support for Pagnozzi Charities to meet its charitable goals. In addition to the support provided to the Arkansas Razorback Baseball program, with its separation from the Razorback Foundation in 1999 and the development of its own 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) status, Pagnozzi Charities took on a new goal and new events. The Pagnozzi Youth Sports Scholarship Program was created with a desire to extend the charitable arm of the organization to include disadvantaged youth throughout Arkansas, providing them with an open door to the same athletic experiences of their peers and following the Pagnozzi motto to "level the playing field".
