“Shine For MAC” Event Raises Funds For Neurodivergent Community

HERMANTOWN, Minn. — Funds were raised tonight in Hermantown as MAC’s “Shine for MAC” event welcomed members of the community

On top of being used to raise funds for the organization, the event was all about providing a fun and sensory-safe space for kids and their families to come together and have fun, and when MAC reached out to partners for the event, they found success at nearly every turn.

“When we call them to ask for some support, we weren’t turned down,” said Tommi Peterson, MAC of Duluth’s president.

“Everybody supported us, knew about our event, was happy to help in any way that they can. It was great to have the support from the community.”

“Shine for MAC” was celebrated across all MAC locations today, with each celebration being unique from the rest.
