“I am proud to be part of an organization that is dedicated to helping at-risk youth in Tucson, where 1 in 5 children are living in poverty,” said Jon Gold, president of the Lazydays Employee Foundation Tucson chapter. “Together, our members are able do so much more for our community than any of us could do alone. Including our latest donation to these five worthy charities, we plan to contribute more than $20,000 to support local children in need this season.”

About the Lazydays Employee Foundation
In 2005, the employees of Lazydays created the Lazydays Employee Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Today, more than 65% of the RV dealership’s employees contribute through voluntary payroll deduction to the Foundation. Administered solely by employees as volunteers, the Foundation has contributed more than $1.7 million to make many historic changes in Tampa Bay, Tucson, Denver and Northern Colorado. The Foundation supports the Lazydays House at A Kid’s Place, Lazydays Homeless Youth Program, Ybor Youth Clinic and Tampa Bay Youth Outreach. In addition, the Foundation contributes to various local charities, including the R.I.C.H. Houses, the Joshua House, Lots of Hugs Learning Center and the Women’s Resource Center, among others.
