Our Why
​​
The Bozzelli Race for the Future (originally titled Madeline's Race for the Future) honors Libert and Madeline Bozzelli, local humanitarians who dedicated their lives to giving back to the Cuyahoga Falls, Akron, and Summit County communities. The well-known, well-loved couple raised over $200 million for organizations and causes like Akron Children’s Hospital, St. Thomas Hospital, Cuyahoga Falls General Hospital, the Alzheimer’s Association, Arthritis Foundation, Center for the Blind, Ohio Ballet, Akron Civic Theater, Akron Symphony Orchestra, American Diabetes Association, and countless others. To honor Libert and Madeline's legacy, a different charity or organization each year will be selected to receive all race profits.
