Former agent Joe Pistone is also known as the “Real” Donnie Brasco. Pistone volunteered as an undercover FBI agent to infiltrate the Bonnano family in 1976. Shortly thereafter his alias, Donnie Brasco, was born and history was made. After retiring from the agency in 1986, Pistone went on to host lectures, facilitate training sessions and author the book Donnie Brasco: My Undercover Life (1989). This book was adapted into a major motion picture, Donnie Brasco (1997) and included famous actors Johnny Depp and Robert De Nero.
General admission tickets are $20 for the public and $10 for all military ID holders, first responders, and retirees. VIP reception tickets are an additional $10, and will include a meet and greet with Joe Pistone. Tickets can be purchased in advance, at www.patriottour.kintera.org/2012 , at the Hope For The Warriors® Resource Center, and at the door the evening of the event.
