“Every penny raised by Taste of the North End is given back to non-profit organizations in the community. We are proud to have given out over $20,000 this year to local charities,” said TONE founder, Donato Frattaroli.
In addition to the non-profit groups, several TONE restaurant and vendor supporters received thank you certificates from TONE organizers.

I want to personally thank Donato for his continued generosity over the years. Both through the Taste of the North End and personally through his businesses, he has made a great impact on the youth of the North End, our beloved senior citizens and the schools in our community, amongst others!
North End Against Drugs has received tens of thousands of dollars over the years and we are extremely grateful.
THANK YOU DONATO!
