The Izzo Legacy Family Fund will host a community day of giving on Saturday, April 18. That date was the original date for the 2nd annual Izzo Legacy 5K Run/Walk/Roll, but the race was canceled and postponed until fall due to the coronavirus pandemic. A food drive was scheduled in its place, but further precautions necessitated that being canceled and changed to a community day of giving. The Izzo Legacy Family Fund is encouraging the community to support its deserving charity partners that are helping meet the needs of our community during this difficult time. Direct donations can be made to charity partners at www.izzorace.com/donate or www.IzzoLegacy.com
“The safety, health, and well-being of our community is the top priority, and we feel it is important to do our part during this challenging time,” Lupe Izzo said. “Although we can’t get together to run on April 18, we still hope people think about giving back to the community on that date.”
The Izzo Legacy previously announced that the 2nd annual Izzo Legacy 5K Run/Walk/Roll has been rescheduled to Saturday, September 12, 2020.
Since its inception, the mission of the Izzo Legacy has been to unify the community around a common cause and for the purpose of charitable giving. This spirit remains strong and unity is more important than ever!
