THE ECONOMIC CRISIS HAS AFFECTED ALL OF US IN SOME WAY INCLUDING CHILDREN. TRAGICALLY, THE INSTANCE OF CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT INCREASES WHEN TIMES ARE TOUGH. WITH ALL THE RECENT NEWS REPORTS ABOUT THE PERVASIVENESS OF CHILD ABUSE, WE KNOW THAT ABUSE CROSSES ALL CULTURES AND SOCIOECONIC LEVELS. MOST PEOPLE WANT TO HELP THOSE IN NEED BUT DON’T KNOW HOW.

ON JANUARY 10, 2013, THE 9TH ANNUAL MARCIE MAZZOLA FOUNDATION BUTTERFLY AUCTION AND DINNER HONORING THE ROSE BRUCIA EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION WILL BE HELD AT THE WESTBURY MANOR. THE SMILE TRAIN WILL RECEIVE THE MARCIE MAZZOLA CHILDREN’S ADVOCATE AWARD. GUESTS WILL ENJOY GREAT FOOD AND DRINK, ENTERTAINMENT, SILENT AND LIVE AUCTIONS.

THE MARCIE MAZZOLA FOUNDATION WAS ESTABLISHED AFTER MARCIE’S DEATH BY HER FAMILY TO CELEBRATE HER LIFE. MARCIE’S PLAN TO HELP CHILDREN CONTINUES THROUGH THE FOUNDATION’S MISSION TO HELP BETTER THE LIVES OF ABUSED AND AT-RISK CHILDREN; AND INCREASE COMMUNITY AWARENESS ABOUT THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN. 

THIS EVENT WILL BENEFIT CHILDREN’S PROGRAMS AND SERVICES. FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT MARCIE MAZZOLA FOUNDATION DOT ORG, THAT’S M-A-R-C-I-E M-A-Z-Z-O-L-A FOUNDATION DOT ORG.
