Founder
Sam Lamantia, Jr.
Sam Lamantia served as the first chairman of the Foundation as well as its Executive Director for over 36 years, helping to spread our mission to 23 cities across the country. His work to support abused and at-risk youth established him as a nationally recognized humanitarian. He is now honored by the Foundation with the newly established Sam Lamantia Founders Award, a grant presented to a Courage House each year elected by the Board of Directors. His vision continues as the Ed Block Courage Award Foundation grows with the additions of new Courage Houses and the expansion of support for the members of the National Courage House Support Network for Kids.
