The Marcie Mazzola 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."
