Sons and Daughters of Italy highlight scholarships and local donations tied to bocce program
Summary
Representatives of the Sons and Daughters of Italy said the bocce club has awarded scholarships to Saint John's High School students and made donations to local charities such as Safe Animal Rescue and Ayla's Acres as part of its community work.
The Sons and Daughters of Italy framed the bocce courts as more than recreation, citing scholarships and charitable donations tied to their activities at Pier Park.
Bob Crivelli said the club "have given out scholarships over the years to various Saint John's, high school, deserving students. We do donations to local charities like safe, safe animal rescue, Ayla's Acres." He described those contributions as part of a long collaboration between the club and the city designed to promote Italian heritage and support local causes.
Mayor Beth Sweeney thanked the guests for their work and noted the courts have helped activate underused park space.
