The Marcie Mazzola Foundation uses creative and innovative ways to raise money to benefit children. The mission of the Foundation is to “help better the lives of abused and at risk children, and to build community awareness about the needs of children.”
Marcie was a beautiful, compassionate and generous young woman who died in a car accident when she was only 21 years old. When Marcie was just 11 years old, she was sexually abused by a school bus driver. Rather than let this experience embitter her, she resolved to channel it toward a greater good.
At the time of her death, Marcie was actively involved in a civil lawsuit against the bus driver, and intended to donate the entire settlement to help abused children. Tragically, Marcie did not live long enough to see justice served when the civil suit was won. But her intentions and her legacy live on through the Marcie Mazzola Foundation. Established in 2003, the foundation is motivated by Marcie’s love, courage and concern for children and community.
