When The Godfather Came to Town

My Tax Fella recently hosted a private fundraising event featuring special guest Gianni Russo, best known as Carlo Rizzi from The Godfather. Guests enjoyed an unforgettable evening of music, stories, and signed memorabilia — all in support of a great cause. A true mix of generosity, entertainment, and community spirit.

An evening of music and stories

Gianni took the mic and held the room — standards sung the way they were meant to be sung, and stories from a life spent on both sides of the camera. Between numbers, guests bid on signed memorabilia, and the room gave generously.

Why we do it

Our work is numbers, deadlines, and the IRS. But the reason any of it matters is the people and the neighborhoods behind those returns. Nights like this are our favorite kind of write-off.

Interested in our preferred 501(c)(3) organizations — or in year-end giving that actually lands on your return? Talk to us before December.
