Welcome

Thank you grazie to everyone who made Villa Foundation’s Father’s Day Golf Classic and Dinner Celebration a success!

On June 22, 2010, over 200 guests celebrated la famiglia italiana at the Villa Foundation Father’s Day Golf Classic and Dinner Celebration, a day that blended together a glorious afternoon on the golf course (Italian-style, of course!) with an elegant dinner all about dad. Rainy weather didn’t put a damper on the over 128 golfers who hit the green at Eagles Nest Golf Course. In fact, golfers were kept busy at the porchetta station, Miss Martini sampling tent and the espresso stop, giving their swings an extra kick. In the evening, another 120 guests joined us for the annual Father Son dinner, while NHL legend Andy Bathgate shared his insights on our national obsession (hockey, of course!) and his life experiences as a world renowned sports star and family man.

Approximately $70,000 was raised to help Villa Charities continue its 40 year history of providing culturally sensitive care and sharing the Italian passion that makes a difference in the quality of life for seniors, to the confidence level of adults with intellectual disabilities or mental illness who learn new job and life skills and the cultural programming that continues to inspire our community.
