And then… There was Abram

In the literal sense the drive from Galloway to Westerville only takes about 40 – 45 minutes. Figuratively, however it took a bit longer. Finally though, in early October 2011 my wife and I found ourselves en route carrying an MJB Donation. A gift for a boy named Abram who simply needed a way to get out and play with his sisters, a way for Mom and Dad to get him outside. Abram’s “Get out and play” deck as we call it now. We had heard about Abram a few months before. His famil

You're Invited!

A guest post today. It really speaks for itself. Thanks for taking the time to read. Hi! I’m writing to invite you, your family and friends to the first annual Ohio Idols for Independence benefit concert. Our goal is to raise thousands of dollars to help kids with cerebral palsy find their voice at home, at school and in their communities. This event is close to my heart because my daughter, Adriana, lives with cerebral palsy. While she falls on the severe end of CP, the amaz

Golf for Joy 2011 Flashback

Working on a lot of Golf for Joy and MJB Foundation business this week, thinking about last year’s tournament and what great success we had. Check out our guest speaker, former Ohio State Buckeye receive Bobby Olive talking about courage, and heart, and Meghan Joy. (Bobby comes on about 2:25 with an introduction by Keith Hughes from Paetec, one of our sponsors.) We are really looking forward to this year’s tournament on June 30th at Foxfire Golf Club. #assistanceforchildrenwi

Time To Get Going

I have to confess to a little let down after Golf for Joy this year. We had a terrific turn out, a beautiful day, a great speaker, and on a personal note, my speech seemed to be a big hit. I’ve given talks that were smoother, and came off more polished, but I think the content this year was a big hit, and that felt kind of cool. To make things even better we raised more money than ever before at Golf for Joy and now have $6,000 more to help us share our Joy with children wit

Whew!

A quick thank you / reflection on Golf for Joy 2011. Once again many thanks to our supporters, our volunteers, and everybody who came to Golf for Joy 2011. Netter wants to make sure everyone knows that is not the same shirt Jim wore to golf in on Saturday. He has 2 MJB Foundation golf shirts. (and now a really cool t-shirt too.) #assistanceforchildrenwithdisabilities #charitiesforchildrenwithdisabilities #charitydonation #charitygolfoutingscolumbusohio #columbuscharities #col

The Gold Ball

If you’re playing in Golf for Joy 2011, you want to watch this. MJB Gold Golf Ball 50/50 game Each team can buy 1 gold golf ball for $10.

A Good Time is Had by All

We are just days away from our 17th annual Golf for Joy. As many of you know I play hockey with a great group of fellas who are also very enthusiastic supporters of The MJB Foundation. Last night, post game I asked a few of the guys who are coming out this year to take a few minutes to talk about Golf for Joy. As you can see we always have a lot of fun and it is a great group of guys. While the field is set for this year’s tournament we still want to extend an invitation to

A Word From Our Newest Board Member

Today, we give the floor to Kelly Syferd, our newest Board Member, and (she didn’t know I was going to do this) our 2001 Women’s MJB Golf For Joy Handicap Champion. I told Kelly earlier this month that the day she decided to come on board was one of my happiest ever for The MJB Foundation. I think you’ll all recognize why as she shares her story and invites you to join us for Bowl for Joy 2011. Without further ado – Welcome Kelly Syferd! Twelve years ago my husband and I met

Bowl for Joy Weather Watch

Note: This post is cross posted at The Life of Jimmer as Neither Rain nor Sleet nor Snowpocolypse 2010. Sitting in my office watching the snowfall tonight and wondering just what kind of impact it is going to have on our very first Bowl for Joy tournament tomorrow. In 15 years of The MJB / Golf for Joy we’ve had one 10 minute rainstorm, and one rain shortened tourney that didn’t happen until our 14th year. First year of Bowl for Joy… I’m looking at Snowpocalypse 2010. Well,

2009 in Review and a Look Ahead to 2010

It has been some kind of year for The MJB Foundation. A banner year, A gigantic year, And of course – A Joyous year. We have been blessed to work with an almost entirely new Board. We were able to make a major donation toward The MRDD Early Childhood Education Barn Project. We were able to buy adaptive tricycles for 3 children who needed them, and an adaptive tray, a tray that changed a life for a young man who lacked only $85, (a fancy dinner for you or me maybe?) towards it

I am Meghan's Grandmother...

I am Meghan’s grandmother. Each year I am awed by the commitment that Jim and Annette have to this remembrance of their daughter. I am one of the lucky mothers who never had to have a memorial for a daughter. When I married Annette’s dad I became the mother of four daughters! Annette and Jim worked very hard with their brain damaged daughter. They loved her as much as Kailey the “perfect” twin. I remember when they were born. We weren’t expecting twins. Those of us in the wai
