Taste aids A-T research

Posted

More than 280 people turned out for St. Gregory the Great’s Knights of Columbus (KoC) Taste of Italy dinner on January 28, which raised more than $5,000 for the organization’s charitable works. The Knights donated $2,500 of the proceeds from the event to the A-T Children’s Project in honor of Andrew Martin, 18, a senior at Pilgrim High School. Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T) is a rare genetic disease that attacks children, causing progressive loss of muscle control, immune system problems, and a high rate of cancer.  The A-T Children’s Project is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that raises funds to support research projects, scientific conferences and a clinical center aimed at finding life-improving therapies and a cure for A-T. To learn more about A-T, visit atcp.org. Pictured with Andrew (center) are (l-r): Fr. David Ricard of St. Gregory; Michael Walsh, Grand Knight of St. Gregory KoC; Domenic Rozzero, the organizer and chef of Taste of Italy; and family members Brendan Martin, Cathy Martin, Tim Martin, Marylou Taito and Wayne Moore.
