1,000 Days of Impact
Today, we celebrate 1,000 days of impact.
On February 11, 2022, we hosted our first event, where just over twenty teens danced, played games, and raised money for charity, resulting in a first-year total of $16,500 for our two charity recipients. From there, weβve scheduled annual all-nighter, taking place the first weekend of March, resulting in 54 hours of fun and games to date.
But since that first event in 2022, our volunteers have been hard at work fulfilling our mission. In November 2022, we officially became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, making your donations tax-deductible and sparking a new path for creating a difference.
As of 2024, we've engaged with over 75 volunteers and 100 student participants. We've provided hands-on leadership opportunities to 24 middle and high school youth team members. And we've raised $68,505.00 for charities doing critical work in our community.
It has been our honor to support charities providing critical youth grief support, battling widespread food insecurity, providing life-saving AEDs, and creating moments of joy for children with cancer. These important causes are the heart of why we do what we do.
And through all of this, we have inspired youth to take the next step in their leadership, empowered volunteers to engage with their community, and developed charities to further their services.
So, from all of us at WMCD, thank you for supporting our ongoing efforts to make the world a better place, one day at a time. We couldn't do it without you, and we're just getting started. 1,000 days is just the beginning of years filled with hard work, passion put into action, and ever-changing growth for our local community. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
