The 14th Annual KFI PastaThon to benefit Caterina's Club was a huge success because of each and every one of YOU!
Chef Bruno Serato started Caterina's Club, a charity named after his beloved mother in 2005, to provide meals to children living with their families in local low-income motels. Back then, he was feeding 300 children per week. Over the last 19 years, the need has grown so much and Chef Bruno has expanded his effort to now provide more than 25,000 meals per week to children in 100 locations in 30 cities across Southern California.
KFI proudly joined Chef Bruno in 2010 to help his effort to not only feed these kids, but to help break the cycle of poverty. Caterina's Club not only feeds children in need now, but they also help their families get back into stable home environments, and they provide job training for youths so they have the skills they need to work in the hospitality industry.
This year's event has so far raised $1,062,284 and 87,955 pounds of pasta and sauce.
Since 2010, the KFI family of listeners and customers of our amazing partners, Smart & Final, and Wendy's restaurants in Southern California, have raised more than $8.2 million and 900,000 pounds of pasta & sauce for this local charity.
We truly could not do this without you and our partners. THANK YOU for your generosity and continued support.
