THE NEXT STEP is a program started by the Tortorella Family Foundation to help coordinate efforts in order to better help shelter animals to prepare for their forever homes. Some animals just don’t “show” well in shelters. Others need training. Some just need more love and attention. And even still some need separation and normalcy, and a place to call their own. The Tortorellas wanted to take The Next Step in helping this underserved population of dogs — whether they are owner surrendered, strays, abandoned or abused.
Independently the Tortorellas have supported several programs that target this population of dogs. The Foundation believes it can do more good with more help and matching funds for these programs.
Here are a few programs The Tortorella Foundation’s NEXT STEP program has helped. The Tortorellas plan to continue their support for programs like these — The Way Home (SPCA of Westchester), Pets Alive Middletown (Sanctuary), SURULUNA and Bear’s Angels.

OUR MISSION
The John and Christine Tortorella Family Foundation for Giving Back, was created to enable our family to reach out to more children in disadvantaged situations, to help others who work to improve the lives of these children and their families, and to help those who protect children, animals and our environment from harm.
We believe that reading and writing skills are the cornerstones to a good education, and that exposure to music and art encourages the creative process in children. Our own literacy program,
Enlighten Your World … READ! is our personal commitment to reach out and encourage the interest of children in reading, writing, music and art.
You are invited to browse our website to see some of the activities that we are involved in and to consider sponsorship of the program. All proifits of book sales go into the foundation literacy program for disadvantaged children.
We pledge to be forthright and involved with each entity we designate a recipient of any dollars we give through the foundation. Our family will often respond to time sensitive critical situations, with our personal support, because the need is immediate. There are often crisis situations, and immediately help may save a life of an animal. This can leave no time to properly put it through the processes of our foundation’s polices of discretion and discernment.
And thank you for giving back to those in need in your community.
