The DiMatteo Family Charitable Foundation raised more than $26,000 for three vital non-profits: The Umbrella Center for Domestic Violence Services in Ansonia, the Boys & Girls Club of the Lower Naugatuck Valley in Shelton, and Spooner House in Shelton.
The foundation was established by the DiMatteo Group in Shelton.
This spirit of philanthropy resulted in the creation of the DiMatteo Family Charitable Foundation 10 years ago and the annual golf tournament.
The foundation was started as a tribute to Anthony “Tony” DiMatteo, their late father who was battling cancer at the time.
