Natalie DiDonato's Holiday Giveback Celebrity Gala Benefits Women Against Abuse

PHILADELPHIA - Dec. 12, 2014 - PRLog -- Natalie DiDonato - South Philadelphia's very own Mob Wives star - is celebrating the holidays by creating awareness for domestic voilence and honoring the mission of Women Against Abuse. A spectacular event hosted by DiDonato in Philadelphia recently, Natalie DiDonato's Giveback Celebrity Gala, raised funds to support WomenAgainstAbuse.org - especially during the holiday season.

Each year, Women Against Abuse holds an annual gift drive beginning in November and ending on December 16th. Community participation in this program has granted countless holiday wishes for survivors of domestic violence and their children. For women and children who find themselves homeless as a result of domestic violence, a gift to open in the holiday season is a simple reminder that they are cared for - and Natalie DiDonato cares.

"When in an abusive situation, you feel lost and down, but when you have people to lift you up, to believe in you and want the best for you, it gives you a feeling that life goes on, gets better - it gives hope," DiDonato shares. "We are giving hope to women, hope with great intentions."

DiDonato's star-studded Philadelphia event drew scores on a frigid Center City evening to honor the cause and support sharing hope for survivors of domestic violence. In attendance at the spectacular event were Mob Wives reality stars Renee Graziano, Karen Gravano, Carla Facciolo and Angela Raiola, joining business leaders, entertainment greats, sports figures and community leaders from the Greater Philadelphia Region.

"With Natalie's celebrity and personal passion, she is giving a voice to a subject that is now going mainstream," shares CJ DiRoma, CEO of Station Avenue Productions, a division of Asterism Group. "It's time for women to feel they have another advocate that have a public voice, someone they enjoy watching on television - Natalie is perfect, passionate and dedicated."

Station Avenue Productions supported Natalie DiDonato an event producer for her Philadelphia event, as well as an event sponsor, along with event sponsors including, but not limited to: The Condo Shops,Tower Place, Asterism Group, Event FX, Paprika Restaurant, APPADOOO, Blue Coat Gin, Rudi’s Formal Wear, Varallo Bros.
