Those looking to indulge in some bocce and benevolence in Sterling Heights have the perfect opportunity coming up. The 12th Annual Bocce with the Brothers is set to take place at Villa Penna on March 22, as reported by WXYZ. The event, which costs $75 to enter, kicks off at 5:30 p.m. and promises an evening of bocce ball, diverse live entertainment, and a buffet – all in the name of charity. Proceeds will be channeled to support the Capuchin friars and their community-oriented projects such as the Capuchin Soup Kitchen.

The fundraiser will not only entertain but aims to impact positively on a range of Capuchin ministries. It's a well-established fact the friars have been contributing to Detroit since 1883, and this event continues that tradition. "The night includes an amazing buffet dinner, beer, and wine," highlights the article by Eventbrite, not to mention the desserts from On the Rise Bakery Café. Besides bocce, attendees can expect performances by the Gary Greenfelder Orchestra, DJ Frank Krause, and more.

According to WJR 760 AM, the lineup of live entertainment is hosted by operatic and crossover singer Aaron Caruso. Featured artists include the Capuchin Soup Kitchen Choir and instrumentalists like Noelle Borgia and Joe Recchia. It is not just about music and games, there will also be a cash raffle and both silent and live auctions to partake in.

Shelving.com is sponsoring the event, ensuring that 100% of proceeds benefit vital services for the underserved, including food and clothing provision initiatives. Pre-event ticket purchase is mandatory, and all the information for snagging a spot can be found at the Bocce with the Brothers' official website. In addition, Kristen Wilkins is available for any questions, highlighting the event's commitment to accessibility and community engagement.
