Stay Tuned!
Coming later this week, we will launch the online MPA Silent Auction to benefit the MPA Scholarship Fund and the MPA Store, where you can purchase all kinds of branded MPA gear and other fun logo wear…. INCLUDING the commemorative 2020 Logo Wear — Year 2020 was wild, unforgettable, and we all pulled together as journalists to keep the public informed.

We’ve also added a Donation button to the event site for those who choose to make a straight donation to the MPA Scholarship Fund.
