the program that launched his professional
career.
In addition to its support of the Razorback Baseball program, the
Pagnozzi Youth Sports Scholarship Program was created 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 as their peers and following the Pagnozzi motto to
"level the playing field". Pagnozzi Charities has provided scholarships
to over 1,800 youth through the Pagnozzi Youth Sports Scholarship
