MORE ABOUT THE EVENING: A special thanks for the professionalism of our hosts for the evening...Mr. Mike Max of WCCO and "The Amazing Hondo," who made the night's theme, "Making Magical Moments," come to life. Both delivered profound messages to the audience about the mission, vision, and core values of myasfoundation.org. Mike Max's perspective touched us all through the message he delivered about the choices kids are faced with to "be on a team", but what kind of team? Mike talked about current events and how "real" it is out there on the streets and the challenges many kids and families face, vs the types of teams formed and supported by MYAS, that help build stronger communities by providing opportunities and a level playing field for all kids and families. The Amazing Hondo followed up with some wonderful magical messages that not only made us think but inspired us all and made us reflect on those magical moments we had as children, and that our children are now experiencing (which we get to experience with them). Making Magical Moments was a common theme for those philanthropic folks who attended the evening because they also want to help create magical moments for many more kids and families, which is the mission of the Foundation.
