The Joe DiMaggio Award was established in 1999 by its chairman, Dr. Rock Positano '76, with the approval of the DiMaggio Estate, in memory of baseball legend, Joe DiMaggio. Mr. DiMaggio was a friend and generous supporter of Xaverian High School and was the first individual to receive Xaverian's highest honor, the Concordia Award, in 1997.

     Upon his death in 1999, Xaverian's Concordia Award was renamed the Joe DiMaggio Award to memorialize Mr. DiMaggio's life-long commitment to the health, education, and well being of America's youth.

     To date, the DiMaggio Award has been presented to international statesman Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, Maestro Luciano Pavarotti, Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Regis Philbin, Paul Simon, James Gandolfini, John Bello, Boomer Esiason, Bob Costas.
