Event raises $60,000 for Ronald McDonald House
Los Gatos – Tim Filice, Chair of the 2005 Spring Lamb Barbecue Event Committee announced that this year’s fundraiser netted $60,000 for The Ronald McDonald House at Stanford. The event, in its third year, doubled the 2004 proceeds through the support of generous sponsors, donors and attendees.
The sellout event was held on April 16th at Campo di Bocce in Los Gatos and featured a fun-filled corporate bocce tournament. The winning team received crystal trophies and wine for their efforts.
The evening also included a fabulous meal provided by The Greek Community featuring delicious treats – from stuffed grape leaves to a traditionally roasted lamb. Award winning winemaker Ed Filice served Syrahs from La Filice Winery’s current release while Campo di Bocce topped of the evening with spectacular desserts.
The silent auction featured a wide selection of wines, trips and treasures. A special collection of sports items including a rare “Roger Clemens” by Stephen Holland were sponsored by Filice Sports Collectibles and added to the event proceeds.
Gold sponsors included The O’Brien Group, Bisceglia Family/UBS, Filice Family/LaFilice Winery, Albanese Family/Campo di Bocce, The San Jose Greek Community and Articulate Solutions.
Next year’s event is already in planning and Gold Sponsors are welcome to make early-bird reservations to obtain coveted tournament slots.
