The MFP is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2024! Looking forward to the future, ASA has just concluded an ambitious fundraising campaign, “Making a Difference Today for Tomorrow,” to help ensure the program’s sustainability for many years to come. We extend our sincere gratitude to those who have contributed toward the campaign! And, we thank campaign Co-chairs Linda Burton, Lisette Garcia, Ruth Peterson, Gary Sandefur, and David Takeuchi for their leadership throughout the campaign.

The monies raised extend the life of the MFP, and make sure the program remains responsive to changing needs.
