Lombardo Family Hosts Event Raising $53,000 for 3 Charities

[RANDOLPH, MA] The Lombardo’s Family celebrated the Vincent’s Night Club 22nd anniversary with a charity gala at Vincent’s and Lombardo’s in Randolph, on Wednesday May 14th. As they do every year, the Lombardo’s Family, owners of both Lombardo’s and Vincent’s Night Club, hosted three charities at this gala ball. The family picks up 100% of the expense for the entertainment, food & liquor. In return, guests are asked to donate a minimum of $65 per person to one of the three featured charities.

This year’s highlighted charities included The Turner Free Library of Randolph, Wayland to Waveland/Mission to Mississippi, and Zumix. The event pulled more than 700 people and raised $53,000 for the three charities. This years’ event fell on the 10th anniversary of Frank Sinatra’s death, and in honor of Ol’ Blue Eyes, the night’s featured entertainment was provided by Michael Dutra & The Strictly Sinatra Quartet.

Vincent’s, Lombardo’s, and the Lombardo’s Family are proud to host this annual event and they sincerely appreciate the charitable donations the guests make.

One of the busiest Libraries on the South Shore, The Turner Free Library of Randolph serves a culturally diverse community and is hindered by budgetary restrictions in providing new programs to assist the residents and students of Randolph. The library has few bilingual books and even less foreign audio materials – media that would be very important to adequately serve the town’s residents. Donations received from the event will help to update the library’s Career Center.

Wayland to Waveland/Mission to Mississippi is a public-private nonprofit partnership begun in Wayland, MA. Its mission is to help the community of Waveland, Mississippi recover and rebuild following Hurricane Katrina. Since September, 2005 Wayland has helped Waveland residents by sending
household items, rebuilding the baseball field and planting a memorial garden for a family of 4 who died in the storm, rebuilt three homes, built and donated 8 new homes for Waveland families. Donations are going to help the organization continues relief efforts.

Zumix was founded in 1991 with $200 and a simple plan - to get kids of East Boston off the streets and to improve their lives through music. Zumix continues to serve the youth of East Boston and surrounding areas by offering songwriting, creative technology, and instrumental music programs. They are currently working on a $4.2 million capital campaign to renovate the old Engine Company 40 Firehouse into a state-of-the-art performing arts center. Donations received at the Vincent’s Charity event will go towards this campaign goal.
