Helping intellectually disabled individuals in our communities

St. Anthony  Foundation Of Charlotte is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization that supports other 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations, who directly help intellectually disabled individuals in the Charlotte community.

Through contributions of our guest and community, we are able to impact the lives of individuals with disabilities

For the past 20 years, our Foundation hosts an Annual Charity Event called “FESTA ITALIANA Charlotte”, an Afternoon Gala Highlighting the Beauty of Italian Culture & Cuisine. Through contributions of our guest and community, we are able to impact the lives of individuals with disabilities, so that they may live a dignified, fulfilling and happy life. Una Bella Vita for everyone.


Since 2006, over $300,000 have been raised for our non-profit beneficiaries: Holy Angels and our major beneficiary Nevins of Charlotte. With funds raised, Nevins has been able to purchase transportation vans for their participants, conduct facility capital projects (inclusive of roof and HVAC replacements), purchase new technology for education purposes, upgrade software systems and more.
