Lingzi Foundation
The Lingzi Foundation is a 501 (c) (3), not-for-profit organization based in Boston, Massachusetts formed by the family of Lu Lingzi, who perished during the Boston Marathon bombing attack, to preserve and perpetuate Lingzi’s life example.
The Foundation provides opportunities to those who share Lingzi’s ambition and dreams to enrich their lives, open their minds, and break down barriers by learning from her positive spirit, unparalleled work ethic, perseverance, and humanism.
Lingzi lived life fully with joy by appreciating family and friends, food and its ability to bring people together, and the beauty of the environment around her. The Foundation seeks to identify and partner with organizations that share these passions and support their inspirational initiatives.
Lingzi Book Club
The Lingzi Book Club continued its partnership with the Boston Police Department to launch this year’s AAPI Heritage Month reading series. It was a meaningful way to celebrate culture and share AAPI heritage while building trust and connection with young community members. We’re proud to mark this month alongside Boston Public Schools, the Mayor’s Office of Early Childhood, and the Boston Police Department, and deeply grateful for their support in making this special event possible.
