Another Reason to Be Thankful. 

 

We want to thank you for attending our cocktail reception and meeting up at the MBA Annual in Nashville, TN. We saw a record amount of people attending our event and that is another reason for being thankful.

We also had the chance to donate almost $10k to benefit the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association while we were in town. Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) is a disease of the peripheral nerves that control muscles that can cause progressive loss of function and sensation in the hands, arms, legs, and feet. If you want to donate as well, please head to this link and donate to help out those in need. 

At MCT, we are proud to support worthy causes, particularly those causes that are close to home for our team. We want to keep the memories of our team alive by donating to an organization to help others in need. We honor Dana and Bill’s memories by fundraising for cancer research and bringing light to the darkness of cancer.
