Carmen A. Campolo was Born on December 16, 1945. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, educator, motivator, and a great inspiration to many. He was an honored U.S. Army Veteran who served in Vietnam. After his service to his country, he went on to Jamesville-DeWitt High School in the Syracuse NY area where he worked as a special education teacher for many years. He Sadly left us on December 4, 2013.
Carmen A. Campolo was known for his positive attitude in everything he did in life. A favorite statement of his was "mind over matter." Carmen firmly believed you can be anything you want to be if you set your mind out to do it. His spirit and willingness to instill that same attitude in his students was something he strived for each day.
The Carmen A. Campolo Memorial Fund’s mission is to honor Carmen by helping families realize they are not fighting cancer alone. The Fund assists families who are battling cancer in the form of financial assistance with medical bills, travel and lodging for treatments away from home and other crucial support services.
In addition, The Carmen A. Campolo Memorial Fund has been established to bring inspiration and innovation to the student community at Jamesville-DeWitt High School. Their mission is to provide financial assistance to graduating seniors who aspire to effect change and make a positive impact in their communities and beyond. A scholarship is awarded yearly to a student who exemplifies Carmens spirit.

This year in the 11 Day Power Play, I play in memory of Carmen A. Campolo. Thank you for your support.
This summer, more than 2,500 pairs of skates will hit the ice to play in the 2019 11 Day Power Play Community Shift to help in the fight against cancer! The 11-day game will be played in continuous shifts at Harborcenter in Buffalo, NY. This important event supports The 11 Day Power Play, raising critically-needed funds for cancer research and wellness programs at Roswell Park, Camp Good Days and Make-A-Wish WNY. While it is physically challenging to play in a marathon hockey game, it's a walk in the park compared to what most endure in their battle against cancer. Cancer is a disease that touches everyone, and The 11 Day Power Play wants to make an impact in our community. In the past two years, The 11 Day Power Play has raised nearly $2.5 million supporting cancer causes in Western New York.
Donations are graciously accepted online or by check. Please write checks out to 'The 11 Day Power Play' and send to PO Box 4, Buffalo, NY 14223. If you are interested in a sponsorship, contact Sara Schumacher today.
