On behalf of The Amber Pizzo Memorial Fund committee and volunteers, we invite you participate in our 1st annual Amber Pizzo Memorial 5K Walk/Run.  The event is being held to raise awareness to 'Think Before You Drink', while raising money for The Amber Pizzo Memorial Fund organized in memory of Amber Pizzo who lost her life on July 18, 2005 when she was struck by an automobile driven by an impaired driver.

 Amber was enjoying the festivities of the Mt. Carmel fair on the night of July 16, 2005.  After watching the fireworks display from a friend’s house, she left to return home when she was struck and fatally injured.  Amber was beginning a career in pre-school and elementary education. The parents of her young students speak lovingly of Amber's genuine caring and concern for their children. Because of Amber's love for those children, her loss was mourned as deeply by their parents as it was by her many family and friends.

The Amber Pizzo Memorial Fund is dedicated to providing annual scholarships to Governor Livingston High School graduates planning to major in early childhood or elementary education.

Her gentle personality coupled with zany antics, singing, dancing, puppetry, magic  and balloon sculpturing, have made her the "queen of clowning".  Performances are both educational as well as silly and delightful.  Children are mesmorized.  Sprinkles loves entertaining children.  Every event is geared to making the children's day very special!
