DONATELLO RESTAURANT HOST 32nd ANNUAL THANKSGIVING DINNER FOR 1,000
As has been its tradition, Donatello Restaurant closes its business to the public on Thanksgiving Day. The restaurant is closed to serve a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner and present gifts to foster children and at-risk families. This year, the restaurant served over 1,000 children and families. Holiday music was provided by Kitty Daniels and Majid Shabazz. It was 32 years ago that Guido Tiozzo and his family decided to have Thanksgiving Day at Donatello’s along with some foster children and their family. The event has grown larger each year, with many of the volunteers serving since the event began. Volunteers who assist with the event are many of the customers, some former Buccaneers players, actors and community leaders. Shown from left to right are: Rev. Willie G. Dixon, Council Rudolph, Brian Tymes, Greg Roberts, Gino Tiozzo, restaurant family member; Jerry Bell, James Harrell, and Bobby Bowden. Marvin Knight is kneeling. (Photograph by BRUNSON)
