The Need
Chris Ricotta is a loving husband, doting dad, neighborhood coach, and dedicated friend. Chris has lived in the Town of Tonawanda his entire life and has always lent a helping hand to anyone in need.
In 2023, Chris was shockingly diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer, along with cancer in his adrenal glands. He is currently undergoing extensive and expensive treatments at Roswell. Throughout this ordeal, Chris continues to work despite his exhaustion. Unfortunately, insurance is not covering all his treatments, and this continues to be a source of stress for the family. Please consider a shirt purchase or a donation to his online fundraiser to help support Chris and his family during this time.
The Sponsor
Chiavetta's has been a BBQ staple in Western New York since we fired up the pit in 1954. For nearly seven decades, we've had the pleasure of serving mouthwatering BBQ to our community. Our story is one of tradition, and our hearts are deeply committed to Buffalo, the city we call home.
From our beginnings, we've grown to serve the community through parking lot pop-up chicken BBQ's, takeout, catering, and fundraising. Our core values of commitment, community, and tradition are not just words to us; they're the very essence of who we are. We're not just a BBQ destination; we're a part of the community's fabric, bringing people together through a shared food experience.
