A cocktail reception will kick off
the festivities at 5pm and dinner

Those unable to attend are encouraged to donate to Caterina's Club, the nonprofit started
by Sir Bruno Serato in 2005 that feeds thousands of hungry children each night as well as
finds permanent housing for families in need and trains young people for careers in the
hospitality field.
Even small donations are
welcome as just $5 can feed
a family of four.
“This is our most important fundraiser of the year as far as having the opportunity to raise enough
funds to keep food on the plates of hungry children, homes for families in need,” says Serato, who
first gained fame as the owner of the popular Anaheim White House restaurant.
“We are so grateful to His Royal Highness
Emmanuel Philbert and the other honorees for
having supported Catarina’s club throughout the
years and appreciate the efforts of Christopher
for using his fame to call attention to your
mission of service.”
Currently, Caterina's Club works through Boys & Girls Clubs
throughout California to deliver hot pasta dinners to
underprivileged kids nightly.
Serato even mortgaged his home twice to
keep the program going and when a fire
burned down his restaurant, the Anaheim
White House, where he prepares the
dinners, he secured a kitchen the next day
and kept feeding the kids without
interruption.
For his humanitarian work, he has earned many honors; being named a CNN Hero, being knighted by
the Italian government and House of Savoy, received the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, was personally
blessed by Pope Francis, received a humanitarian award from Congress on the steps of the U.S.
Capitol
- accolades he accepts to call attention to
the crisis of hungry children in the U.S. He
has also been featured in People
Magazine, CBS Evening News, NBC
Nightly News, CBS Sunday Show and
media around the world.
