NAPE Charities American Hero Award

A group of America’s energy producers donated $1 million to create the NAPE Expo Charities American Hero Award honoring the late Anthony J. DeToto Sr. In addition to his own military service, DeToto was revered for his tireless support of U.S. veterans. In 2023, DeToto was honored posthumously as the first recipient of the NAPE Expo Charities American Hero Award. This annual award now bears his name: the NAPE Charities Anthony J. DeToto American Hero Award.

In honor of DeToto's legacy, a portion of the funds donated for this award will be given annually over the next decade to veteran groups supported by the NAPE Expo Charities Fund.
