This is the most money ever raised in the 12 year history of this fundraiser!? They also donated 36 bottles of wine for our upcoming Corks for a Cause fundraiser in April. We are beyond grateful for your continued support—thank you for helping us make an impact! ?? #Gratitude #ItaliansOfAmerica #CommunitySupport #EmpoweringPossibilities
