Event Planning
MLD Foundation encourages local events to increase the awareness of MLD. These events should be organized and run by local volunteers that come alongside the MLD affected family. The MLD affected family is the reason that the community will show interest in MLD event. The community will turn out to support the family and to further MLD specific efforts such as those underway at MLD Foundation.

MLD Foundation will provide a framework and assistance to help the local team organize the event. We can offer assistance, including online registration and collection of donations & fees, so that the local team can focus on the logistics of the event and its publicity. Donations made to MLD Foundation are tax deductible and with prior agreement, some or all event expenses can be paid out of those donations.
