“Twelve years ago we established the DiMatteo Family Charitable Foundation and an annual golf tournament,” noted DiMatteo. “The foundation was established as a tribute to our late father who was battling cancer at the time. Since then, we have contributed over $304,000 for various well-known local and national charities that fund research, education and finding a cure for diseases.”
“Each year BHcare looks forward to working with the DiMatteo Group and the tremendous generosity of their employees,” said Tammy Burrell, Chairman of the Holiday Drive and Secretary of the BHcare Board of Directors. “This annual gesture of goodwill makes a tremendous difference in the lives of the local families we serve.
