MASC & MAHS are proud to announce Penrickton Center for Blind Children as the 2008-09 Charity of the Year. Penrickton Center for Blind Children is a five-day residential and day care agency serving blind, multi-disabled children ages one through twelve. It is located in Taylor, Michigan, yet serves children from all over Michigan, other states and other countries. The programs they offer are individually designed to promote independence in all aspects of daily living. Penrickton utilizes its experience and expertise to train and serve families, children, and professionals through support services, education and advocacy.

What is the MASC/MAHS State Charity all about?

Each March, the MASC & MAHS Board of Delegates invite three to five charities to come and speak to the board, which then adopts one charity for the following school year. The MASC & MAHS member schools raise money in a variety of ways for the charity throughout the following school year. The associations, combined, have raised up to $100,000 in just one year for charity!
