Past Events






The Lawzie Marigold Foundation is proud to sponsor the 1st Annual "Running 4 Our Angels" 5K Run/Walk on April 8, 2018 to remember and honor the lives of Lauren Baruch, Amy Grabina, Brittney Schulman and Stephanie Belli.  Your continued support is very much appreciated as we find new ways to keep their beautiful spirit alive.

Since many families in our community use limousines, our goal is the increase awareness regarding the safety issues of limousines.  We need to get more prudent regulations in place on the internal/external structure of limousines as well as mandated comprehensive training programs.  Currently, there is no formal training for limousine drivers. Help us make a change!

All proceeds will be divided equally in a form of a Scholarship to the recipient of their choice:

Thank you for participating in the Pampered Chef on-line fundraising event!!  All proceeds goes towards supporting the efforts of the Lawzie Marigold Foundation. 



As you may know, the foundation was established to honor the spirit of Lauren Baruch.  In June, we will be awarding another scholarship to a high school senior who demonstrates similar aspirations as Lauren.  We are also in the process of organizing a 5K Run/Walk, "Running 4 Our Angels" that will be held in Spring 2018, in honor of the four girls Lauren, Brittany, Stephanie and Amy.  Your continued support is very much appreciated as we find new ways to keep her beautiful spirit alive.
