HIPster Golf Classic – That’s a wrap! We are excited to report that at this year’s tournament we raised over $90,000 for our HIPsters! Over 100 players played our brand new format, combining traditional golf with some fun challenges thrown into the mix. ALL photos can be found here! We cannot possibly say “thank you” enough to the staff, volunteers and crew who made it happen.
Volunteer Spotlight – Roy Mewbourne
After My Possibilities launched its capital campaign in June, Roy was determined to do his part to make the dream a reality for all HIPsters, especially his son Richie, who currently attends MP. In June, Roy began his journey to fundraise an ambitious goal – $20,000. In September he reached that goal, but instead of stopping there, Roy accepted a new challenge by increasing his goal another $10,000. He is now well on his way to achieving that target!
If you want to contribute to Roy’s campaign, please click here. If you are interested in fundraising for the MP campus yourself, contact Adrienne Mageors at amageors@mptx.org or call 469-241-9100 x104. |

Donor Spotlight – Capital One We are so excited that Capital One has donated $5,000 to support our HIPsters in MPU! This program allows our HIPsters to explore and discover their interests in vocation, leadership, continued education and volunteering within the community. Capital One is a company that strongly believes in the concept of Diversity & Inclusion, and to educate their employees, they also send a group of volunteers to MP at least twice a month. We are so proud to have them as part of the MP Family!
