At Corradino & Papa, giving back to the community isn’t just a tradition—it’s a core value. Jack Corradino and RC Papa, both proud Clifton natives, recently demonstrated their commitment to local schools by donating life-size statues of the Clifton Mustang to Clifton High School, Christopher Columbus Middle School, and Woodrow Wilson Middle School. Corradino & Papa also proudly donated a life-size statue of the Highlander Deer, West Milford High School's mascot. These statues serve as lasting symbols of school pride, fostering a sense of unity and excitement among students.
For RC Papa, this donation is especially meaningful. As a former football, lacrosse, and wrestling athlete at Clifton High School, he has always taken great pride in being a Mustang. The mascot represents perseverance, teamwork, and determination—values that shaped him throughout his life and career. By placing these statues in schools, Corradino & Papa hope to inspire students to embrace their school spirit and build lasting memories. The statues provide a designated space for students to take photos, particularly on big game days, graduations, and other milestone events, creating a new tradition of celebration for future generations.
This contribution is just one of many ways Corradino & Papa give back to the communities that shaped them. They firmly believe that strong schools build strong communities and remain dedicated to making a lasting impact. The firm encourages others to support local schools, whether through donations, mentorship, or volunteer work. By investing in education and school spirit, they hope to help students feel empowered, connected, and motivated to chase their dreams.
