On Tuesday, Feb. 17, Lou Bizzarro Sr. and his family will be honored in the Samaritan Care Shelter. At 11:30 a.m. the Erie City Mission will honor the Bizzarro’s for their continuous commitment to the Knockout Homelessness (KOH) event.
The Bizzarro’s had a vision for the event, and they have continued their commitment for 17 years. A plaque will be unveiled in their honor for their support of the event and the coming new chapter. The KOH event is set to become an annual fund campaign ensuring the strive to help those in need continues for years to come. The official unveiling of the plaque will begin at 12:00 p.m.
“It means so much to our family to be part of this important mission,” said Lou Bizzarro, Jr. “We are so happy to help the Erie City Mission and to see the impact this event has had on providing shelter and hope to those who need it most.”
Over the years the Knockout Homelessness event has raised over $500,000 and with the annual fund campaign this work will continue.
