Amber Pizzo 5K Race in Berkeley Heights

The Amber Pizzo 5K Race will be on 07/11/2011.  This event will begin at 8:00am at Memorial Field.  The race will honor the memory of a young teacher who died after being struck by an automobile driven by a drunk driver almost six years ago. Amber was a committed advocate for the educational needs of our youth who will be our leaders tomorrow. The Foundation in her name seeks to continue the work Amber began but was unable to finish after her life was suddenly and tragically ended.  As such,  The Foundation assists in developing and funding peer leadership and educational programs within Union County as well as sponsoring efforts to reduce alcohol related fatalities throughout New Jersey.
