When Margaret Iuculano founded Angels for Foster Kids in 2007, she was determined to make a difference. A product of the foster care system herself, she aimed to provide much-needed assistance to children who experience the same sorts of struggles that marked her childhood. Through personal investment and a strong support network, Iuculano developed the Angels initiative and its DreamMakers program to grant wishes and improve the quality of life for children throughout Central Florida.
But many wishes come at a price, so continuing to make them come true has been a challenging endeavor.
That’s why the Glazer Family Foundation stepped in to help.
On Wednesday, Foundation Co-President Darcie Glazer Kassewitz presented Iuculano with a grant to fulfill the wishes of 50 children in Hillsborough County as part of the Foundation’s biannual grant cycle. Six nonprofit organizations received grants totaling more than $25,000 during an award presentation and luncheon at One Buccaneer Place. Representatives of the organizations attended the private reception to accept plaques and checks presented by Glazer Kassewitz on behalf of the Foundation.
“The Glazer Family Foundation is committed to building a stronger community by assisting Florida’s youth and families,” said Glazer Kassewitz. “These dedicated organizations carry out the Foundation’s mission of helping those in need, and we are proud to support them in their endeavors to give back to those less fortunate.”
