Join the MCC Advanced Conference and Event Planning Students for "The Blue and Gold Benefit" Reimagined!

Since 2015, the MCC Advanced Conference and Event Planning students have planned and executed the annual "Blue and Gold Benefit" to support local not-for-profit organization Full Circle Home. The worldwide transition from live to virtual events has been a challenge, but not one that would stop this creative group of students from coming up with new ways to rise to the occasion! This year, the students have coordinated three virtual events to complete their course requirement. Please consider joining them as they work to reach their goal to raise $3000.00 for Full Circle Home who has helped over 26,000 troops send their hand-written love notes and holiday gifts (Mother’s Day and Christmas) to their Heroes at Home.
