PRIMA NOTTE - JOIN US AT AN OLD-FASHIONED USO SHOW - FEATURING PETE JACOBS WARTIME RADIO REVIEW!
Our theme this year is to pay tribute to The Italian-American Experience: The War Years - recognizing the outstanding efforts that Italian Americans made to the war effort and highlighting Italian American entertainers who have entertained our troops from WWII to the present. We'll be sending a live USO show (via the internet www.feastofla.org) to our US Military in the Middle East during the four days of the Feast.
All Ticket Prices include the " Taste of San Gennaro" & Live Entertainment:
$50.00 (open seating)
$100.00 (reserved seating)*
$1,000.00 (reserved table for 10pp)
$2,000.00 (VIP reserved table for 10pp)
*As a Thank You from the San Gennaro Foundation, all US Military receive 50% off the $100.00 Prima NotteTicket and FREE admission to the Precious Cheese Feast of San Gennaro LA all weekend (must show Military ID at entrance).
* Please help us raise money for charity by donating Silent Auction items, raffle prizes & restaurant gift certificates: All proceeds from "Prima Notte" and the Precious Cheese Feast of San Gennaro LA benefit The San Gennaro Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit organization, established to aid children and families in need. In 2009, due to the generosity of our community and the hard work of our volunteers, we were able to donate close to $200,000 in funds and benefits to local charities, such as: homeless feeding programs, children and family shelters, adopting school programs, offering financial assistance and emotional support for underprivileged youth, and providing scholarships to exceptional students in need of financial assistance. It is also very important for us to support programs that enrich the community and perpetuate the Italian culture.

Frankie Valli
Italian Heritage Award
Press Release
Originally a solo singer, Frankie joined the Variatones in 1954. They made their first records as the Four Lovers but achieved lasting success when they became the Four Seasons in 1962. Valli also had a solo recording career with a million-seller "Can't Take My Eyes Off You." His first solo number one in 1975 was "My Eyes Adored You." Frankie subsequently rejoined the Four Seasons and enjoyed further success with "Big Girls Don't Cry. In 1990, the Four Seasone were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His legacy of music is a gift that we all take pleasure in, and leads us to award Frankie Valli with the San Gennaro Foundation Italian Heritage Award.
John Paul DeJoria
Humanitarian Award.
John Paul DeJoria has come a long way from the early days of growing up in the concrete jungles of East Los Angeles from overcoming homelessness, to building from scratch his own true life version of the American Dream. Through hard work and persistence, DeJoria, CEO and co-founder of John Paul Mitchell Systems, has built the company into a hair care empire with sales approaching $800 million per year. It is an unbelievable story that gives us hope that one day our wildest dreams may come true. By extending tremendous time and generosity to many humanitarian global causes, it gives us great honor to bestow John Paul DeJoria with the San Gennaro Humanitarian Award.
Danny DeVito & Mario Batali will be the special guests on Jimmy Kimmel Live (Thurs. 9/27)
