In that spirit, the Biancardi family is committed to higher education by helping defray college costs for outstanding Italian American students.

“We are a nation of immigrants. We are the children
and grandchildren and great-grandchildren
of the ones who wanted a better life, the driven ones,
the ones who woke up at night hearing that voice telling
them that life in that place called America could be better.”
