Friends of Bocce Classic
Over each of the past 13 years, we have had the help of numerous charities. We include them all as members of the Bocce Classic family. Please give them your support.
Fisher Houses
Fisher Houses are residences that provide temporary lodging for members of U.S. Armed Services, veterans, and their families during a medical crisis. They provide a warm environment where families and friends can stay close to one another and nurture one another in time of need. Dayton is home to two such houses with another to be started soon. Privately funded, these houses are located at WPAB within walking distance to the military hospital.
