Congratulations to FIAO for Another Successful Scholarship Fundraising Gala

Broadway Stages is proud to support the Federation of Italian-American Organizations of Brooklyn (FIAO). For 36 years, FIAO has provided a gamut of services directed at improving the quality of life of individuals and families in the community, with a focus on the most vulnerable members of society – immigrants, seniors, and youth.

These services include social assistance and educational and recreational programs. They also provide scholarships to high school graduates pursuing higher education and cultural initiatives such as the Brooklyn Columbus Day Parade and exchange programs.

A state-of-the-art cultural center called Il Centro will soon be located at 8711 18th Ave., (Cristoforo Colombo Blvd). This will allow the organization to expand services and will serve as a cultural resource to Italian Americans as well as become a model to all ethnic groups in how to preserve, celebrate, and share one's own heritage in a multicultural society.

Congratulations to the scholarship winners and FIAO for an amazing year. For more information please visit http://fiaobrooklyn.org/.

Broadway Stages Is Proud to Sponsor Schoolfest

Town Square's 8th annual Schoolfest is a one-of-a-kind school fair for North Brooklyn students and parents. All schools, early childhood centers, and extracurricular providers are invited to a single venue to meet North Brooklyn families.

We are excited to announce that this year Schoolfest will be held at the North 5th Center in Williamsburg. The center is conveniently located just blocks away from the Bedford L-station and Williamsburg waterfront.

With the help of council members Steve Levin and Antonio Reynoso, as well as District 14 Superintendent Alicja Winnicki, this year's Schoolfest will host almost 70 educational providers to provide parents and educators with a one-stop informational resource.
