Home History Board Members Activity Groups Service Projects Membership Contact us! International MOMS ClubŪ | Each year, we try to do a large service project which benefits our community. We also do smaller-scaled activities year round to contribute to our community at large. Here's where you've seen us serving our community: 2008 July 2008 - We raised over $3,600 for cancer research by participating in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life! April 2008 - We teamed up with Pizza Sam's again to raise money for Midland Cancer Services, an agency which provides assistance and support to Midland residents living with cancer. They agreed to make sure our dollars raised were reserved for the children they serve. Just like last time, we brought the customers in, and the pizzeria in turn gave us 20% of the profits earned from our customers. We raised over $150 just by eating pizza! 2007 December 2007 - We adopted a family via our local Salvation Army. Our organization made sure a family in our community had a happy Christmas, complete with gifts for everyone and a Christmas dinner. November 2007 - We teamed up with Pizza Sam's early in the month to raise money for the Backpack Buddies Program, a branch of the Midland County Food Pantry which provides a weekend backpack of nutritional food to elementary school children who rely on the school lunch program during the school year. We brought the customers in, and the pizzeria in turn gave us 20% of the profits for the day. In all, we raised over $100 just by eating pizza! Also this month, we participated once again in the Midland Holiday Santa Parade. A $25 donation to Toys for Tots was given as an entrance fee. May 2007 - We held a garage sale to raise money for Shelter House and Let's Ride Summer Bike Camp. We were able to raise over $1,200 for these two amazing organzations. We'd say that classifies this event as a great accomplishment! 2006 November 2006 - We participated in the Midland Holiday Santa Parade. A $25 donation to Toys for Tots was given as an entrance fee. 2005 December 2005 - We hosted a Vendor Fair and raised $500 to shop at Wal-Mart for toys to be donated to Toys for Tots. With an extra $25 donated by Wal-Mart, our moms and their children delivered $525 worth of toys to the Salvation Army for their worthy cause. November 2005 - We participated in the Midland Holiday Santa Parade. A $25 donation to Toys for Tots was given as an entrance fee. July 2005 - We participated in the Downtown Midland Sculpture Series, Auto Be Downtown. Our members and their children painted a pedal car to look like a bug, named "Goin' Buggy." The pedal car was auctioned off for $110 with all the proceeds going to the Downtown Arts Fund. |
