         In its 89 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 $7500 (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: 30 Under 30
         
The Board of the Italian Welfare League is pleased to announce a junior membership fee for the first time in the League's history. Now, anyone under the age of 30 years old is eligible to join the Italian Welfare League for $30 a year.  The junior membership fee, "30 under 30," has been 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 in school and on the job as well.

If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, please email the League here or call 212-861-8480.
