Mission
THE FUNK-ZITIELLO FOUNDATION WAS FORMED IN 2016 WITH THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF RAISING FUNDS FOR TWO CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS: 1) THE JT TOWNSEND FOUNDATION, A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION WHOSE MISSION IS PROVIDING HOPE TO THE COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES BY OFFERING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR ADAPTIVE EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES THAT WILL IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE; 2) MAYO CLINIC, A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION ENGAGED IN RESEARCH AND CLINICAL TRIALS. THE GIFTS TO MAYO ARE DIRECTED TOWARDS PANCREATIC CANCER RESEARCH.
