Staten Island Fleet Week to hold September fundraiser at the Leif
Longtime Bay Ridge resident and Entertainment Director for Staten Island Fleet Week Inc. Tony Ieva wants you and all of your friends at the Leif Bar (6725 Fifth Avenue) this September for a good time and an even better cause.
On September 10, kicking off at 4 p.m. with Bay Ridge local minstrel and songwriter, John Raferty, the second annual fundraiser for Staten Island Fleet Week Inc. will feature a plentiful line-up of local musical acts, food, prizes and raffles. All proceeds will go toward providing the funding for the Rockin’ Our Troops Music Festival, held each Memorial Day weekend at the Sullivans Pier.
An over-30-year-old non-profit, Staten Island Fleet Week Inc., provides scholarships to local students and community service for veterans and is a huge part of bringing the U.S. Navy to the Sullivans Pier, Homeport – a 35-acre decommissioned U.S. Naval Base on the north shore of Staten Island.
