Welcome to The MJB Foundation's Golf for Joy 2007!
It's hard to believe this is our 13th year!
This year we welcomed our largest MJB Golf for Joy field ever with a record 74
participants.
We have started to lay the groundwork for our Gifts of Joy program. Through this
program we hope to provide adaptive equipment to children who would not otherwise
have access because of financial constraints. During preliminary research we were
amazed at the cost of some of this equipment. It is our hope that our Gifts of Joy
program will ease the burden for families who just don't have the income, or have gaps
in their insurance coverage, so that their children do not go without necessary items to
help them lead happier, more Joyful lives.
Last year we talked a lot about remembering Meghan and carrying on her legacy. This
year we have been able to see that legacy in action. It means the world to us and we are
excited to see it continue.
Thank you all for making this possible. We are truly grateful.
Jim and Annette

| From Golf for Joy 2007 A life is not important, except in the impact it has on other lives. Meghan Joy Brochowski's life continues to impact many lives today, and thanks to her foundation, her spirit will continue to touch the lives of children for years to come. Through our efforts - and that means everyone in the room - we have been able to share the Joy that Meghan brought into the world. Everyday, children with challenges are being touched by Meghan's spirit. As children at MRDD enjoy the Meghan Joy Fountain in the outdoor learning center and water her flowers, as boys and girls whose families may not have otherwise had the means to afford uniforms or entry fees play baseball in the Children's Miracle League, as a child is fitted for hearing aids at Ohio State Audiology and hears the wonders of the world for the first time, or as a family is assisted with the financial burden of medical equipment, wheelchairs, walkers or even tuition and books at the Mental Retardation Disabilities and Development Center through the MJB Foundation Gifts of Joy, Meghan Joy is having an impact on the lives of other children. We are simply ambassadors of her spirit and we cherish the honor. So thank you for your generosity and know that the spirit in which you give will impact the other lives in honor of Meghan Joy Brochowski. For those we held in our arms for a little while, we hold in our hearts Forever. -Lorne Weigt |
