Company Overview
Founded in 2011
What started out as a picnic, in the summer of 2007 slowly evolved into a movement that our community appreciated and respected so much that we are now committed to increase family activities, encourage positive fatherhood and volunteerism in our community. So as MEN, we created M.M.A.D. Our goal is to be an example to young people, by demonstrating the importa
nce of family and volunteerism in our community. We do this by first taking care of our selfโs, family and giving back to our community
How it Started:
What soon become M.M.A.D was founded by Andrew Brewer Jr. by gathering a group of volunteers who all wanted to make a difference by hosting a community picnic in 2007 at Hawk Island Park, with 20 children and their parentโs. Today with the help of committed group members and community support we continued, which is our annual signature event now called M.M.A.D Family Community Cookout Festival that attracts over 500 people from our community with a family reunion atmosphere filled with live entertainment great food and family fun. This event is held on the 3rd Saturday of July from 12pm until 5pm at Benjamin Davis Park
Our organization believe itโs vital that our young people see men and women giving back and being productive in their community. So therefore, we encourage young people to volunteer in their communities. What we have done:
Volunteering is mandatory to continue to be a M.M.A.D member and this is how we give back to our community.
