Libert and Madeline Bozzelli were true local humanitarians, dedicating their lives to making the world a better place. After 75 years of marriage, this remarkable couple passed away in 2022, leaving behind a legacy of generosity that included raising hundreds of millions of dollars for various causes. This fundraiser ensures their spirit of giving back will continue to inspire.

Madeline and Libert were an unstoppable team, championing dozens of causes and single-handedly orchestrating countless fundraisers for charities, non-profits, hospitals, and associations. Their commitment to community was unwavering, and they accomplished incredible feats together.

To keep their legacy alive, we've established an annual fund that will support a different vital cause each year. This year, all proceeds will benefit the Cuyahoga Falls Firefighter Memorial Foundation.

Why the Cuyahoga Falls Firefighter Memorial Foundation?

The Cuyahoga Falls Firefighter Memorial Foundation plays a crucial role in our community. Not only do they honor the bravery and sacrifice of firefighters, but they also provide vital support to current and retired firefighters and their families. Their work extends to community education and safety initiatives, making our city a safer place for everyone.

The Bozzellis understood the profound impact of local heroes. As Libert and Madeline aged, they often found themselves needing assistance, and it was the Cuyahoga Falls firefighters who consistently and compassionately provided support whenever they were called upon. The Bozzelli family deeply appreciates the consistent care and frequent help provided by the firefighters during that time. Supporting the Firefighter Memorial Foundation is a meaningful way to honor the dedicated individuals who serve and protect us all, just as they cared for Libert and Madeline.

The Bozzelli Race for the Future will take place on Saturday, September 20. You can find all the information you need at https://www.bozzelliraceforthefuture.com/events/bozzelli-race-for-the-future-2025.

Funds for this year will be distributed to the firefighter memorial foundation by October 1, 2025. Join us in celebrating Libert and Madeline's enduring spirit of generosity!
