LAS VEGAS, April 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - Marquis Industries, a wholly owned subsidiary of Live Ventures Incorporated (NASDAQ:LIVE) ("Live Ventures" or the "Company"), a diversified holding company, and the Isaac Capital Group today announces a $10,000 donation to the Caroline Previdi Foundation.  The donation is being made on behalf of Marquis employee, Chet Graham, who will be participating in the 2016 Boston Marathon in support of The Caroline Previdi Foundation.  Mr. Graham started "Team Caroline" as a participating team in the marathon to bring awareness and support to the foundation.

Caroline Previdi, Mr. Graham's niece, was killed in the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012.  Since then, he started the 501(c)(3) foundation to help raise money to provide scholarships to deserving children who may not have the means to participate in important extracurricular activities, including dance, art, music and sports.

"Caroline truly loved participating in the arts and in sports, and the Sandy Hook tragedy cut short a beautiful life full of energy and potential," said Mr. Graham.  "Our work with the foundation is designed to celebrate all of the beauty that life has to offer, and we are proud to help ensure that children in need have access to those types of activities that Caroline loved.  It is our sincere desire to give such a horrible tragedy a meaningful outcome by sharing the advantages that Caroline enjoyed with other children."

"Chet has been an amazing employee at Marquis. Marquis is extremely proud to provide this donation in Caroline's honor and to support his upcoming participation in the Boston Marathon," said Tim Bailey  CEO of Marquis Industries. 

The foundation connects with local marathons and other fundraising events.  This is the first time the foundation has entered the national scene by participating in the Boston Marathon.  For more information about the Caroline Previdi Foundation, please visit www.carolineprevidifoundation.org.  To learn how to contribute to Mr. Graham's fundraising efforts as he participates with "Team Caroline" in the Boston Marathon, please visit www.crowdrise.com/caroline-previdi-foundation1.
