Fundraiser to Feed Our Children

We are proud to have our Wind Waves at the entrance this Sunday, June 28, 2015 at a Fundraiser to Feed Our Children at The White House in Anaheim. What a great cause! Thank you so much to Bruno and Mamma Caterina, and all of their helpers!! MEET CHEF BRUNO SERATO The only chef in the world serving 1,200 underprivileged children warm dinners, every night. Named one of CNN's 10 Heroes of the Year and featured in magazines (People, Elle, Vogue, Riviera), television ("CBS Evening News, " CNN, Univision) and newspapers (New York Times, Los Angeles Times, OC Register) countless times. He was honored on the steps of the U.S. Capitol with a humanitarian award and perhaps his highest honor was being knighted by the Italian Government, earning him the title, Sir Bruno Serato. Today, he continues to run his highly successful Italian steakhouse and extends his generosity to many other nonprofits besides Caterina’s Club. IT ALL STARTED WITH MAMMA CATERINA In 2005, Bruno and his mother, Caterina, visited the Boys and Girls Club of Anaheim down the street from his restaurant (Anaheim White House), where his mother noticed that there was a 6-year old boy eating potato chips for dinner, because his family couldn't afford a proper meal. Caterina insisted that Bruno make some pasta for the child. They soon realized that there were many more of these hungry 'motel children', so Bruno began making pasta for 72 children, 5 nights a week, giving birth to our program “Feeding the Kids in America”. Today, that event has expanded to feeding nearly 1,200 children, 5 nights a week. Frustrated that feeding the children was not enough, Bruno began a second program called “Welcome Home”, where we provide qualified families, living in the dark environment of a motel, with the necessary resources to move into the safety and stability of an apartment or condo.
