An anonymous donor to the Cortland Memorial Foundation recently pledged to match every donation made to the Guthrie Cortland Cancer Center project, up to $1 million dollars. Just a few months into the match challenge, Guthrie announced that donations exceeded the $1 million goal. Today, to thank the community for helping the foundation reach this important goal, that anonymous donor has chosen to share his identity. Mr. Nicholas Renzi, of Cortland, was revealed as the anony...mous donor, and spoke recently about the passion that he and his late wife, Agnes Renzi, had for supporting the community through charitable giving. We had many friends who battled cancer, and they were my inspiration for making this donation. Tomorrow would have been Agnes’s 92nd birthday, and it seemed like a good way to honor her legacy he said. If you’ve had a personal experience with having a friend or relative battling cancer, you know what the challenges are for someone going through that. This new cancer center in Cortland will help make cancer treatment a little easier for those impacted, by bringing those needed services to our community, Renzi added.
