LLS Kick a Thon (3/18)

Posted on March 18, 2024

MONDAY, March 18, MPK is hosting a KICK A THON for LLS the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The door will open at 5:00 pm and the event will begin at 5:30. We expect to have a full house and parking may be a challenge. Feel free to park in the neighborhood across the street and plan a little extra time for that.

If you need an extra board for the event, please stop at the front desk before the beginning of the event. Just a final reminder that our goal was to find 10 people to donate $10 = $100 per participant. So far we have had over 130 boards sold! That would put very close to our goal of $15,000 — but there is still time to donate. Please consider supporting this very worthy and important cause!
