Anaheim非盈利组织Caterina's Club创始人获意大利首届金马车奖 其组织每周为儿童提供约2.5万份餐食
Anaheim——总部位于加州Anaheim的非营利组织Caterina's Club创始人布鲁诺·塞拉托（Bruno Serato）获意大利卡斯泰洛·贝维拉夸（Castello Bevilacqua）颁发的首届金马车奖（Golden Carriage Award），以表彰其人道主义工作。该组织10月17日发布的新闻稿称，奖项于10月13日在意大利颁发。
金马车奖以费利西塔·贝维拉夸公爵夫人之名设立，表彰其一生所代表的慈善、包容与扶持后代的精神，授予在个人与职业成就上对社会产生有意义而持久影响的人士。颁奖方称，居住在Huntington Beach的塞拉托把餐饮事业转化为行善的力量，显示慷慨、同情与个人成功可以结合起来，改变成千上万人的生活。
塞拉托生于意大利，移民美国后成为AnaheimWhite House意大利牛排餐厅的经营者。2005年，他在目睹贫困儿童缺乏营养餐食后，以母亲卡特琳娜的名字创办Caterina's Club，最初只为住在附近汽车旅馆的几名儿童烹制意大利面晚餐。
据该组织介绍，如今Caterina's Club每周为该地区有需要的儿童提供约25,000份营养餐，业务还扩展至帮助困难家庭获得永久住房的「欢迎回家计划」，以及为高风险青少年提供酒店业职业培训的「酒店业学院」。塞拉托此前曾获评CNN英雄、获意大利政府与萨伏依王室授予骑士称号、获埃利斯岛荣誉勋章，并曾获教皇方济各的祝福。该组织总部位于Anaheim南Anaheim大道50号251室。
Founder of Anaheim Nonprofit Caterina's Club Receives Inaugural Golden Carriage Award in Italy
ANAHEIM — Bruno Serato, founder of the Anaheim-based nonprofit Caterina's Club, has been named the inaugural recipient of the Golden Carriage Award by Italy's Castello Bevilacqua, in recognition of his humanitarian efforts, the organization said in a press release issued on October 17. The award, dated October 13, 2026, was presented in Italy.
Established in honor of Duchess Felicita Bevilacqua, whose legacy was defined by philanthropy, charity, inclusion and support for future generations, the Golden Carriage Award recognizes individuals whose personal and professional achievements have made a meaningful and lasting impact on society. In presenting the award, Castello Bevilacqua praised Serato, a Huntington Beach resident, for transforming his culinary career into a powerful instrument of philanthropy and for demonstrating how generosity, compassion and personal success can be harnessed to change thousands of lives.
Serato, a native of Italy who immigrated to the United States, is the owner of the Anaheim White House Italian steakhouse. He founded Caterina's Club in 2005, naming it for his mother Caterina, after witnessing children living in poverty who lacked access to nutritious meals, and began by preparing pasta dinners for a handful of children living in nearby motels.
According to the organization, Caterina's Club today serves approximately 25,000 nutritious meals each week to children in need throughout the region, and has expanded to include its Welcome Home Program, which helps struggling families secure permanent housing, and its Hospitality Academy, which provides at-risk youth with vocational training and career opportunities in the hospitality industry. Serato has previously been recognized as a CNN Hero, received knighthoods from the Italian government and the Royal House of Savoy, earned the Ellis Island Medal of Honor and received a papal blessing from Pope Francis. The organization is based at 50 S Anaheim Blvd #251, Anaheim, CA 92805.
