Brownieland March Volunteer Project featuring MDA Atlanta in Celebration of St. Patrick’s Day

For our March Volunteer Project, the Brownieland Team participated in MDA Atlanta’s 39th Annual Shamrock Campaign in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. The Muscular Dystrophy Association’s Shamrock fundraiser supports groundbreaking research for treatments and the best medical care in the country for families with muscular dystrophy, ALS, and related neuromuscular diseases (NMD). Shamrock pin-ups are available for purchase at participating retailers and feature some of the over 300,000 people living with neuromuscular diseases in the United States, for whom MDA’s services support. Shamrock pin-ups are also available online. Find out more information about this incredible program HERE.
