About
The annual Illuminations: Benefit is a celebration of community and an opportunity to honor people who have made important contributions to MMFS or the field of learning disabilities. Along with members of our community, we have honored such notable figures as writer Andrew Solomon, children’s author Patricia Polacco, playwright Wendy Wasserstein, and award-winning children’s author (and former MMFS parent and trustee) Andrea Davis Pinkney.
It’s not only our signature fundraiser. It’s also one of the most fun events of the year!
This year’s benefit Illuminations: Building a Brilliant Future, will focus on growing the MMFS community and ensuring our students have the resources and support they need for years to come.
