Stan Liberatore is not your typical CEO. At the helm of No Limit Technology, he’s the embodiment of resilience, a leader who’s channeled a lifetime of wrestling opponents—both literal and figurative—into driving a company that thrives on trust and excellence. Behind this driven tech entrepreneur lies a story that transcends the world of business, reaching into the heart of human suffering and emerging with a mission far greater than profit.
Liberatore’s journey into the nonprofit world was born out of an unfathomable personal loss. The death of his best friend’s daughter to ATRT, a rare and vicious pediatric cancer, struck him with a force that no corporate challenge could match. It was in the wake of this tragedy that Stan’s life took a profound turn. Encouraged by mentors who saw in him more than just a business leader, Stan embraced a new kind of battle: one that sought to save children from the grip of cancer, particularly those fighting the underfunded and overlooked forms of the disease.
In 2018, alongside his wife, Holly, Stan founded Save the Kids Foundation Inc., a family-led initiative that has since become a lifeline for many in the fight against pediatric cancer. Unlike many foundations, Save the Kids isn’t just about raising money and awareness—it’s about revolutionizing the very way we approach pediatric cancer research.
Stan brought to Save the Kids the same strategic acumen that made him a successful entrepreneur. Drawing on his extensive background in IT services, healthcare, and the financial sector, he envisioned a foundation that would not only raise funds2 but also push the boundaries of what’s possible in medical research. Save the Kids is at the forefront of modernizing pediatric cancer treatment. This consortium’s tech-driven approach has already yielded significant results, including the FDA’s approval of DFMO, a groundbreaking treatment for neuroblastoma—the first approval of its kind in 25 years.
But for Stan, this is just the beginning. Save the Kids operates without paid employees, ensuring that every dollar raised goes directly to research. This model reflects Stan’s deep commitment to maximizing impact, a principle that permeates every aspect of the foundation’s work. It’s an approach that’s as unrelenting as Stan himself, a man who, in his earlier years, knew the discipline and tenacity of a collegiate wrestler and cage fighter.
The foundation’s mission is as clear as it is ambitious: to save lives by transforming pediatric cancer research through technology and innovation. But beyond the cutting-edge solutions and strategic partnerships, Save the Kids is driven by something more elemental—compassion. Stan and Holly’s leadership is imbued with a deep sense of empathy, a commitment to supporting families in the most difficult of times, and a determination to engage the community in their mission.
In Tampa Bay, where the Liberatores have built a strong network of supporters, Save the Kids is not just a cause; it’s a movement, and their highly anticipated upcoming annual gala in November is a testament to that. Stan’s influence in the local tech community—where he manages and sponsors several influential groups—has been instrumental in rallying support for the foundation’s initiatives.
Looking to the future, Stan envisions Save the Kids expanding its reach, bringing more children into clinical trials, and continuing to push the boundaries of pediatric cancer research. He dreams of a day when Save the Kids can operate on a national scale, leading the charge in the fight against childhood cancer.
As Save the Kids moves forward, it does so with the same relentless drive that has characterized Stan’s entire career. It’s a drive rooted in loss, but one that has transformed into a powerful force for good. Under Stan’s leadership, Save the Kids is not just changing the way we approach pediatric cancer—it’s changing the lives of countless families, offering them hope where there was once only despair.
In a world where the line between business and philanthropy often blurs, Stan Liberatore stands out as a leader who’s found his true calling not in the boardroom, but in the fight to save children’s lives.
