You are Preparing the Next Generation 

For 23 years, the MAB Foundation has helped serve the broadcasters of Michigan in many diverse ways.  Our mission remains to be the premier organization for recruiting young, fresh and talented people into the broadcasting industry through its scholarship, educational programs, and career fairs.

 

Without financial support from people like you, we wouldn't be able to continue this mission and help secure the broadcast workforce for future generations to enjoy.  Please consider joining us in that mission by donating today. 

 

Through your generous gifts, we have been able to offer hundreds of scholarships to high school and college students yearning to become the next generation of superb broadcasters.  We have sponsored award ceremonies to honor the best work in our profession.  And, most importantly, we have held numerous workshops, seminars, and events to continue to educate the best and brightest in our broadcast industry and help prepare those interested in entering this exciting field for the very first time.

 

For more information about making a donation to the MABF, please contact Jacquelen Timm at 517.484.7444 or [email protected]. 

 

Thank you for your time and continued support!  Let's continue to fund the future of broadcast excellence.

 

Sincerely,

Don't miss out on joining your fellow broadcasters for this wonderful tradition August 22 and 23 at the Crystal Mountain Resort in Thompsonville. There are many ways to support the future of broadcast excellence through the MABF at this year's event. Here's three of them: 

1) Put your brand on Crystal Mountain Resort's beautiful Betsie Valley Golf Course as one of our hole sponsors and show your friends that your organization supports the mission of the MABF as they scramble across the links in this fun-filled charity event. 

2) Help us congratulate the 2017 Lifetime Achievement Award, Michigan Broadcasting Hall of Fame , The Lifetime of Distinguished Service Award and Public Media Impact honorees by advertising in our Awards Banquet program booklet.
