November 20, 2012 (Martin County, FL) – Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach & Martin Counties (BBBS) was the proud beneficiary of the 2012 Son’s of Italy’s Columbus Day Dinner. During their November club meeting, Son’s of Italy presented BBBS with a check for $7,000!

“On behalf of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach and Martin Counties we would like to send our utmost thanks to Son’s of Italy for choosing us to be their 2012 beneficiary,” said BBBS Executive Director of Martin County, Stacey Brownlow. “Their generosity is greatly appreciated and will not be forgotten.” 

The wonderful evening included raffles, a silent auction and a 50/50 contest. In a tremendous display of unselfishness and generosity, the 50/50 winner donated the majority of his earnings back to the agency.
