IL CAPRICCIO WEDNESDAY'S CHILD DINNER SETS RECORD!

Jack and Marci Williams present the Friend of Wednesday's Child award to Richie Barron and Jeannie Rogers, owners of Il Capriccio of Waltham. They have hosted the annual Wednesday's Child dinner for the past seven years, providing the food and drinks at their cost.
 
The September 24th dinner in Waltham brought in $72,000.00 thanks to the generosity of friends of special needs children who paid $500 to attend the special dinner at one of the Boston area's top five restaurants-Il Capriccio. An anonymous donor doubled the amount raised….so the one evening brought in $144,000.00. In addition, Wednesday's Child board member John Collins announced a three year grant from Bank of America of $50,000 a year to add to the total for the dinner. Collins, along with dear friends Rick Curtin and Joe Dempsey, paid for the entire cost of the evening, so all donations given were fully tax deductible.
