Men’s Update: Supporting a Local Restaurant Owner in Need

Members of the U.S. Men’s National Team have rallied together to show their support for Bruno Serato, the owner and head chef of the Anaheim White House restaurant. Unfortunately, the restaurant was destroyed by a fire on February 7, 2017. The team has a special connection to the restaurant, as they used to dine there regularly when they first moved to Anaheim, California in 2006. Despite the team’s success, they always felt at home sitting in the elegant restaurant in their workout attire, enjoying delicious meals served with care by Bruno and his staff.

Over the years, Bruno’s restaurant has become a gathering place for the volleyball community. In 2015, the U.S. Men’s Team hosted Iran’s men’s volleyball team for a dinner at the Anaheim White House. Bruno’s generosity extended beyond his restaurant, as he also founded his own foundation to provide meals to low-income children in the Anaheim area. His efforts were recognized by CNN in 2011, naming him one of their Top 10 Heroes.

In the wake of the devastating fire, the U.S. Men’s Team has come together to support Bruno’s rebuilding efforts. They have donated to a GoFundMe campaign and are also helping by donating pasta to continue feeding children in need. Bruno’s impact on the volleyball community and his charitable work have left a lasting impression on those around him, and the team is determined to help him get back on his feet.
