West Side Icons: Honoring Buddy & Olga
About this Event
Celebrate Our West Side Royalty
On the West Side, family, community, and great food are everything. Join hosts Joe and Margaret Seta at the Western Hills Country Club for a historic evening as we gather to honor two legendary restaurateurs who have shaped our community for generations: Buddy LaRosa and Olga Larkin.
From championing youth sports to serving up the iconic pizza and fried chicken that have anchored our family tables for decades, Buddy and Olga represent the absolute best of the West Side. We are coming together for one unforgettable night of community pride, deep gratitude, and plenty of storytelling.
Best of all, this evening is a celebration with a purpose. Net proceeds from the event will directly benefit , the incredible non-profit athletic and mentoring program founded by Buddy LaRosa to give local youth a safe environment to build discipline, self-esteem, and critical life skills.
