ROYAL PALM BEACH, Fla. – Operating Partner Anthony Tedesco with Bolay Fresh Bold Kitchen, received the Department of Defense ESGR Patriot Award during a presentation March 29 at Bolay's Royal Palm Beach location.

Pfc. Jacob Peters, who is a Bolay employee and serves in the U.S. Army Reserve nominated Tedesco for the recognition.

“Anytime I need time off for training and Battle Assemblies, Anthony and my co-workers provide support,” said Peters. “They also keep in touch while I am deployed.”
