Wear Your Pride - Literally!
It’s not too late to purchase your MAMSS/Southern Belle tshirt to benefit Friends of Children’s Hospital (Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children)! We’ve already donated over $100 from shirt sales to help Mississippi’s only children’s hospital. Shirts will be available for purchase at the conference, or by completing an order form from the MAMSS website.
Expand Your Reach!
You will have a chance to not only make a difference by purchasing a shirt that benefits Friends of Children's Hospital, but to also make a difference beyond this year’s conference by bringing items to donate to Mississippi’s only Ronald McDonald House. The Ronald McDonald House program provides a “home-away-fromhome” for families so they can stay close by their hospitalized child at little or no cost. Houses are built on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on healing their child – not w here they c an afford to stay, where they will get their next meal or where they will lay their head at night to rest. A list of requested items is available by clicking on 'Ronald McDonald House' on the left-hand side of this page and a drop-box will be located inside the conference facilities for your donations. Help the Ronald McDonald House help Mississippi families!
