On January 16, 2011 – Grandezza is pulling together to have a fund raiser for a very special person, PFC Corey Kent.

Corey Kent was raised in Cape Coral and graduated from Mariner High School in 2006.  Upon joining the Army and completing basic training, Corey was deployed to Afghanistan.  After only three weeks in Afghanistan, on July 12, 2010 at age 21, he was critically injured while on foot patrol.  He lost both legs and all the fingers on his left hand, due to an improvised explosive device (IED) explosion.  He was transferred to two mash units in Afghanistan, then transferred to a hospital in Germany and then to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington D.C..
