In August MPAA had its first fundraiser. The nonprofit’s kick-off “Candles for Kylie” gave the community an opportunity to support a little girl in need of speech therapy. MPAA started with the objective to provide Kylie with more speech sessions per week. As the fundraiser kicked off it became evident that the community was more than happy to support this cause. The fundraiser was a success! Here’s what Kylie’s mom had to say about the assistance she received from MPAA. Build it and they will come!

Halloween Event Was A Howling Good Time! MPAA and kids had a blast at the I’m Puzzled store in Pacific Grove on Halloween weekend. We made Arts and Crafts, played Pin the Nose on the Pumpkin, Spider Ring Toss and Halloween Bingo! Our friend Kylie came to join in the fun and share her new words! A portion of all puzzle sales went to support MPAA’s mission. As a result the foundation was able to fund Kylie’s speech therapy for the rest of 2011! Spaghetti Dinner and Auction A Big Success.
