Third Annual Butterfly
Auction raised $57,000 for charities that benefit children. The Foundation
was established by the Mazzola Family as a tribute to Marcie who was killed in
a car accident in 2002. While only 21 years old when she died, Marcie's
compassionate and loving nature drew her to those who needed help, especially
children. The Foundation's mission is to continue Marcie's commitment to
children and to specifically "help better the lives of abused and at risk children;
and increase community awareness about the needs of children."
