NIAF congratulates our Director of International Affairs, Anna Malafronte, on receiving the Italian American Humanitarian Award at Italian Charities of America’s 90th Anniversary Gala. Anna has devoted her life to the Italian American community, and there is no one more deserving of this honor. As President of the Italian Welfare League, she leads its mission of I Nostri Bambini, supporting children and families in need, and her generosity and heart are felt by everyone fortunate enough to work alongside her. Anna, thank you for all you give to our community. We are so proud of you and so grateful to have you on the NIAF team. Brava!
