Our kickoff fundraiser was held in September 2010 with a celebrity golf tournament held at the Legends Course at Chateau Elan. Some of the biggest names in Georgia sports and music turned this sold-out event into a great time and plans are already underway for another in 2011. Over $10,000 was raised for the MAFF and the Jenny Melton Foundation which provides college scholarships in Hall County.
