Saturday, May 18th, 2024
Armacost Museum
4200 E 135th St.
Grandview, MO 64030
This special night will be filled with music, beverages and great food. And of course you'll find amazing art donated by many local, national and international artists.
| We're also trying to line up volunteers for this wonderful event, so if you'd like to help us organize things, please click here to send me an email. | CALL FOR ARTISTS: Medical Missions Foundation believes in the healing power of art. Many local, national and international artists generously donate their work to MMF’s largest fundraising event “Art for the Children.” By uniquely harnessing two great passions—medicine and art—our vision of making a difference in the lives of the world’s forgotten children and families now shines in brilliant color in the smallest corners of the globe. And with the help of hundreds of donors and volunteers, we’re working to touch even more. So if you know of a talented artist who would be interested in participating, please contact me. | Hospitals can be a scary place for our little patients. One thing that always brings comfort and sometimes a smile, is a little stuffed toy to hold on to. Please consider clicking on the link below and making a small purchase of stuffed animals and have them sent to Medical Missions Foundation, 8363 Melrose Dr, Lenexa KS 66214 | We're always in need of new supplies for our medical missions. Click here to see a list of other needed items. Before donating supplies, contact Sulamita Ortiz, Missions Assistant, to make arrangements, or call 913-338-0343. | |
Well, that about covers it for today. As I've said, I'll be publishing a new issue of Mission Matters on the first Friday of every month from now on, so be sure to look for it in your inbox.
In the meantime, our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter pages are active and a great place to catch all the very latest news and information about MMF — so stay tuned and be sure to check back regularly! And please feel free to contact me directly with questions, concerns, or to find out more about upcoming missions, events, and fundraisers.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Best,
