There is something incredibly magical about giving to someone else. Donating to the causes you care about not only benefits the charities themselves, but can be deeply rewarding for those who share. Millions of people give to charity on a regular basis in support of causes they believe in, as well as for the positive effect it has on their own lives.

The MACC organization proudly supports charities dedicated to the happiness and well being of children through the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Toys for Tots.  Each year, the generosity of our members shines through at the annual MACC Golf Outing, when we join together and share our good will with the Make-A-Wish foundation, an awesome charity that fulfills life-changing wishes for children with a critical illness. This season, during our holiday festivities, we are once again delighted to share the joy of donating toys to our country’s less fortunate children through the Toys for Tots program.

In our previous Holiday Issue, we featured the amazing charitable endeavors of ABCO, Arista, Day & Nite, National Compressor Exchange and Portnoy, Messinger, and Pearl -- all who continue to support a wide variety of charities both at holiday time and throughout the year. 

This year, we reached out to our newest MACC members who were eager to share the ways they are helping others …
