The FEAST OF SAN GENNARO
HAS DONATED $1,800,000 TO LOCAL
CHARITIES AND SCHOOLS SINCE 1996

Figli di San Gennaro , the not-for-profit organization that has sponsored Little Italy's annual Feast of San Gennaro since 1996, has donated more than $1,600,000 to neighborhood schools, parishes and other charities, since 1996. Many of the donations have gone to schools whose students come from low-income families.

Since 1996, the year Figli di San Gennaro (Children of San Gennaro) assumed operation of the Feast, it has made annual donations from the Feast to charitable organizations, schools and churches. "No other street fair in New York City comes close to donating the amount of money we give to charities each year," says Joseph Mattone, President of Figli di San Gennaro, Inc. "Our donations support many religious and secular organizations providing services and educational opportunities to youngsters on the Lower East Side and other areas of New York City."
