A Message from National President, Robert A. Bianchi
Dear Sisters and Brothers:
I am thrilled to report on the resounding success of the National Education & Leadership Awards Gala, held in Washington, D.C., for the Sons of Italy Foundation (SIF), the philanthropic arm of the Order Sons and Daughters of Italy in America. The event was a remarkable celebration of education, leadership, and the Italian-American community, where we had the privilege of awarding numerous scholarships to deserving students.
The evening was filled with a palpable sense of pride and accomplishment. As we gathered in the elegant venue, adorned with the colors of the Italian and American flags, the atmosphere was charged with excitement and anticipation. The Order Sons and Daughters of Italy in America continues to stand united in our commitment to recognizing the academic achievements and potential of our youth.
Throughout the event, distinguished guests, including prominent leaders, educators, political persons, including the Italian Ambassador, and members of the Italian-American community, joined us in applauding the remarkable achievements of the scholarship recipients. Each scholarship awarded represented an investment in the future, a testament to our unwavering support for the pursuit of knowledge and excellence.
The award recipients, with their exceptional academic records, demonstrated the limitless potential that lies within our community. Their dedication, ambition, and passion for learning were truly inspiring. It was an honor to witness their dreams being nurtured and encouraged through these scholarships.
Furthermore, the National Education & Leadership Awards Gala served as a platform to acknowledge the remarkable contributions made by leaders in various fields. We celebrated individuals who have dedicated their lives to education, mentoring, and advocating for the Italian-American community. Their selfless commitment has paved the way for future generations and has enriched our society in immeasurable ways.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all the sponsors, donors, and volunteers who made this event possible, including SIF President, Joseph Sciame, the entire National Office staff (led by Shayla Kaestle), and Drs. DeNunzio and Kovach. Your generosity and unwavering support have enabled us to empower deserving students and foster a legacy of educational excellence. Together, we are shaping the future of our community.
Of course, it was a special treat to honor one of our own, Anthony Naccarato, who continues to be an important voice for our entire Order. Congratulations, Tony!
In conclusion, the National Education & Leadership Awards Gala was an unequivocal triumph. We can be immensely proud of the impact we have made in the lives of these exceptional students. Their accomplishments remind us of the endless possibilities that education and mentorship offer. Let us continue to inspire, uplift, and empower the next generation, ensuring a brighter future for all.
Thank you all once again for your dedication and commitment to our noble cause. It is through collective efforts like these that we can truly make a difference, as we have since 1905.
Fraternally,
Bob Bianchi
