Dear Mike DiRaimondo, What a huge and very...

The Italian Open Thanks The Orlando Family!

On Saturday, Jan. 25, the Orlando Family Foundation had their annual charity event. Three charities that purchase tables are chosen at the end of the evening to receive the money raised, for what started as a birthday party for Sam Orlando, over 20 years ago. Sam and son Michael, are long-time Italian Open Board members. Sam and Mike and their fabulous food are two of the main reasons why the IO dinner is a regularly a sell-out.

To help our event give even more to our 36 mostly local children’s charities, the Italian Open Board members buy a table. You’ve heard of the luck of the Irish? Well, for the second time, the Italian Open was picked as one of the three charities.

On Thursday evening, the three charities were each presented with a check for $43,000! They were welcomed to the beautiful home of Sam and Jan Orlando, along with the Orlando family. To say that food was served would be an understatement.

Many thanks to the Orlando Family Foundation. The IO charities will get a $43,000 bonus this year.
