The New Jersey Bocce Invitational is on again for this year slated for June 20, 2009 in our very own New Jersey. The Bocce Invitational was created by our Italian American community and the purpose of the event is to support Operation Shoebox New Jersey which, provides much needed care packages to our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.Along with this amazing organization the Bocce organizers have also teamed up with the Boys & Girls Club of New Jersey, where they offer programs in the areas of education, the environment, health, the arts, careers, alcohol/drug and pregnancy prevention, gang prevention, leadership development and athletics.
The Bocce Invitational encourages your attendance in this amazing event that will also feature celebrity guests and singers such as Joe Piscopo, Giada Valenti, & Marisa Petroro. Its for a great cause.

Dear Margaret,
Thank you so much for posting our event. In addition to a great day of Bocce, we will also have a number of celebrities coming out to perform in support of our soldiers and the children of Boys & Girls Clubs. We will also host a Law Enforcement Tribute whereby Viki Wallaca will sing "Fallen But Not Forgotten" in memory of Belleville P.O. Kenny Santucci.
Respectfully,
Frank Valanzola
