40th Anniversary Year Celebration

From April 1st, 2009 to March 31st 2010, MAC will celebrate its 40th anniversary as an advocacy voice for children: changing conditions for many, while helping one at a time. Current education reform initiatives are demanding from all children ever-higher levels of achievement. This 40th anniversary presents an opportunity to shine a light on the urgency of assuring that the children we advocate for who face the greatest barriers can fully reap the benefits of a quality education.

We successfully launched our 40th anniversary on April 1st 2009 with a Corporate Breakfast for supporters and prospective donors on the importance of child advocacy. To view pictures from this event click here.
