Pictures from the January 24, 2017, Thank You Luncheon

We appreciate our Campaign Volunteers so much. We met on January 24 at the Montgomery Park Building, also known as “The Auditorium,” to express our appreciation to 2016 MCC Coordinators and Champions, and to announce this year’s Campaign Leadership Awards. To view the photos from the event, please click here.

MCC Participants and Advocates

There have been some truly creative (and often hilarious!) videos from people who are donating to eligible charities in the MCC, then helping to spread the word. Click here to see their videos. Then show us what you got! We would love to see your photos, videos, and other announcements about your participation in the MCC.

Help spread the word on social media! Just click here to download our Social Media Tool Kit and here to download the corresponding graphics you can use with your social media posts. Please use the campaign hashtag #MCCmatters so we can aggregate the social conversation.
