Westchester Square-Zerega Improvement Organization or WSZIO (pronounced wizzo) for short, is a 501(C)4 nonprofit corporation that was founded in September of 1990 by a group of Westchester Square parents with young children.
We work as community organizers and advocates. We also plan and contribute to family events in the Westchester Square, Throg's Neck, and Pelham Bay areas of the Bronx, New York City.
We specialize in children's arts & crafts and face painting. Our signature event is Family Fun Day, which is held in Pelham Bay Park in July.
WSZIO works closely with New York City Parks and Friends of Pelham Bay Park. We also work with the New York Public Library, creating window displays throughout the year at their Westchester Square branch.
Our programs, supplies, and activities are funded privately by the members of WSZIO (with a few exceptions), who are ALL volunteers.
