This year marks the tenth year anniversary of losing Christopher Italia to a glioblastoma brain tumor. To honor him, our family has decided to match the first $10,000 raised by Team Italia in Chris’s memory at the

2026 Path of Hope on
Saturday, May 9, 2026
at Bushnell Park in Hartford, CT.

We need your help!! Chris was beloved by all who knew him. A selfless family man who spent his working years building the top real estate appraisal business in Hartford, Connecticut. He chaired the real estate commission for many years and developed many friends and colleagues. We miss him everyday. I am hoping to raise awareness for brain cancer, support patient assistance and also, give to research to find a cure for this darn cancer.

The Italia family will be honored this year with the Champions of the Cause Award for our consistent support over the last years. We love that you are a part of that. Thank you so much and Chris is forever in our hearts.

Together, we can make a difference!
