Spaghetti Dinner Raises $1,500 For St. Rocco’s CYO Basketball

An annual Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser helped raise $1,500 to benefit the St. Rocco’s CYO basketball program.

The St. Rocco’s CYO basketball league provides boys and girls ages pre-K to second grade with a recreational program.

“Thanks to the generosity of the Glen Cove community and the hard work of the Nonnas who prepared the delicious dinner, we raised $1,500 this year” Lou Larice, St. Rocco’s CYO basketball league commissioner, said in a press release.

Mayor Tim Tenke and members of the Glen Cove City Council joined the Nonnas of St. Rocco’s Church at the fundraiser.

Program registration for next season will begin in the fall of 2018.

The league is under the leadership of Lou Lacrice with support from Father Daniel Nash, Councilman Michael Zangari and the Glen Cove Parks & Recreation Department.
