We’ve got the ‘month of May’ at the MGA! Meetings, events, support groups…. you name it, we’ve got it!
May will be a busy month for us, but a good busy. We are particularly excited for our biggest awareness and fundraising event of the year, the 10th Annual MGA Triple Crown Showdown! The event features a 5k with options to walk a mile mosey, a tot trot for the kiddos, or participate virtually! If you’re not up for the race, we welcome anyone who wants to come hang out and cheer others on. We are slowly easing our way back into in-person programming, services, and celebrations, and looking forward to seeing each and every one of you.
Take a look at our calendar for May below. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to the MGA. REMINDER: If you plan to attend a support group, you MUST RSVP to Tanya Renner. We are following COVID-19 protocol including temperature checks, pre-health questionnaires, masks, and social distancing. Thanks, everyone!
