Mark Malisa's Grave

SHE DESERVES A MARKED GRAVE

This year's Pennies for Malisa 5K intends to raise enough money to mark the grave of Malisa DelaSancha, who was 4-years old when she was the victim of a homicide in Piqua.  Even if you can't make it to the 5K on Saturday, 5/14, consider dropping your donation at the police station.  You can make out any checks to "PROTECT Piqua".  

Malisa was a victim of homicide in April, 2012.  Before her death Malisa would collect pennies and when she collected enough pennies, she would ask her mother to go to the store to buy candy with the pennies.  After Malisa passed away, her family and friends started collecting pennies for charity, so on race day feel free to donate any pennies you may have sitting around your house.  This year we are raising money to purchase a head stone for Malisa's cemetery plot (any additional money will go to the area business that helps other families).
