About the Maryland Charity Campaign

The MCC is more than a charitable giving campaign – it’s the collective effort of thousands of individuals who give back and inspire hope in communities near and far. In our 2021 Campaign video, you’ll hear from Governor Hogan, Lt. Governor Rutherford, Secretary Wobensmith, and our 2021 MCC Vice Chairs Director Tung and Special Secretary Rhee about why the MCC is important, see some of the charities you can support, and learn how your donations and pledges sustain their important endeavors.

We are immensely grateful to the Department of Juvenile Services‘ Office of Communications and Special Projects for creating our Campaign video!

On October 5, we celebrated the launch of the 2021 Maryland Charity Campaign (MCC) with a virtual kickoff, during which Campaign leaders discussed what’s new for this year’s Campaign, debuted our new Campaign video, and most importantly, explained why and how the MCC helps you help others. Thank you to everyone who spoke during the kickoff and the more than 300 people who joined us on Google Meet and Facebook. For those that couldn’t with us, this is the recording!
