On Friday, December 8th, we held our 7th annual PastaThon at the Cultural Center at the Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove. You can see some of the pictures above!

By the end of our all-day broadcast at 10pm, we had collected $390,728 and 70,100 pounds of pasta & sauce!

BUT WAIT....THERE'S MORE!

Every year after the event, we get donations, specifically earmarked for the PastaThon, continuing to come in after the event for a week or so. Our alternate drop off locations didn't all get to drop off their donations that day, so now they're all counted. Several large monetary donations came in that we were not expecting as well.

In addition, our auction items have been officially paid and are now included in final totals.

Also, that day, we didn't count all of Smart & Final's poundage from the bags they sold to benefit Caterina's Club.

So...We now have FINAL totals!

$462,852

102,658 pounds of pasta & sauce

Our hearts are even more full than before.....THANK YOU SO MUCH!

We also wanted to thank Smart & Final for offering their $10 "Caterina's Club Care Package' donation at 178 of their Southern California stores!

Smart & Final sold 3,358 of these care packages for Caterina's Club! Totaling 33,580 pounds of pasta & sauce for Caterina's Club!

And a very special THANK YOU to all of our alternate drop off locations, that helped collect donations in the month prior to our event.

Chef Bruno is still in the process of rebuilding the Anaheim White House which is expected to open early next year. You can see some photos of the fire devastation and the rebuild below.

Chef Bruno has a new book, The Power of Pasta: A Celebrity Chef's Mission to Feed America's Hungry Children. CLICK HERE TO ORDER. All profits from the book go to Caterina's Club.
