Annual Fund Vision 20|20 Enters Final Countdown

Magic Number: 1,480 Alumni Participants
When the Harold Alfond Foundation challenged MMA alumni to reach 20 percent participation in the Annual Fund, they had one goal in mind. The Foundation presented MMA with a golden opportunity: reach 20 percent participation and earn an award of $750,000 to be invested in the scholarship endowment, which would serve students forever.
