Join the Sons of Italy Foundation (SIF) on Thursday, May 25, 2023, for the 34th Annual National Education & Leadership Awards (NELA) Gala featuring a cocktail hour, dinner, music, dancing, and more! The signature event will be held at the Ronald Reagan Building & International Trade Center, and will honor F. Anthony Naccarato, Jill M. Albertelli, Tony Lo Bianco and Augustin Tellez. 

In addition to these outstanding honorees, the SIF's national scholarship recipients -- chosen through a highly rigorous and competitive process -- will be showcased. The NELA Gala is the SIF's most important fundraising and public affairs event, highlighting the foundation's commitment to educational excellence, leadership and the betterment of society.

To date, the NELA Gala has helped the SIF raise tens of millions of dollars for education, medical research, disaster relief, cultural preservation, veterans' causes, and other special projects, with over $130,000 in scholarships awarded at last year's event.
