 In its 91 year history, the Italian Welfare League has gone from helping Italian immigrants on the New York piers find jobs and housing to its present role: helping children of Italian American descent who are ill or have suffered an emotional trauma.  We call these youngsters, “I Nostri Bambini,” and have adopted them into our family of caring members and supporters.

Traditionally, our “Autumn in New York 25th Luncheon,” helps to accomplish this.  Last year, it was held at the St. Regis Hotel on October 25th. Each successive year, the luncheon’s proceeds have grown due to the wonderful generosity of individuals and companies.  We are asking your support as a sponsor and hope you will find it in your heart to contribute to this cause.

Sponsorship categories ranging from $10,000 (Benefactor) to $1000 (Booster) include luncheon tickets, a premier journal page and will be noted in the event’s promotion.  Your support is invaluable in helping to put smiles on the faces of those who are the littlest and most vulnerable among us, as is obvious in the attached photos of former recipients.

*New beginnings at the League: 35 Under 35
 
The Board of the Italian Welfare League offers a junior membership fee for anyone under the age of 35 years old for just $35 a year.  The junior membership fee, "35 under 35," was established to attract young people who wish to become members of the League and to participate in volunteer activities. The Board believes young adult involvement is key to the growth of the League. Please help spread the word to young people at home, in school and on the job as well.

Sponsorship

Our Autumn in New York Luncheon, held in October, is our annual fundraiser.

Perhaps you or you or your company would like to advertise in the Leagues’ journal, or donate an item to the live or silent auction? Our Luncheon provides many opportunities to support the Leagues’ efforts.
Your contribution is invaluable in helping to put smiles on the faces of those who are the littlest and most vulnerable among us (I Nostri Bambini).
