Thank you to the Southington Community

2007 was a banner year for the Calvanese Foundation. We achieved a great milestone through the netted proceeds of $84,000.00 from the Gala, “An Evening in the Rainforest”.  We surpassed the $1,000,000.00 mark for raising funds for the Southington Community.  We would like to thank all of our generous donors who donated good or services to our Auction.  It is only with the help of individuals and businesses like yourself that we are able to make a difference in our community.

We allocated $94,000.00 in grants to charities and other programs in the Southington Community in 2007.  We have touched a broad spectrum of people as shown by the below list of disbursements.  The remainder of the funds raised has been placed in our permanent endowment.  We are committed to strengthening the endowment to ensure that we will remain a permanent funding source for future generations in our community.

Again, thank you so much for your continued support.
