2003

Donation given by M4L to Story Teller during the KLITE radio-athonStoryteller provides daycare for homeless and transitional families in our community. The Center provides parents with a nurturing environment to leave their children while they seek employment, housing or community resources. Storyteller serves children 18 months to 6 years old. KLITE held a 12 hour radio-thon for the non-profit and raised nearly 9-thousand dollars from listener pledges!

M4L will have a tile in the wall of the South Coast Community Aquatic Center from a donation made to building the proposed facility on the Dos Pueblos High School Campus. This project will greatly expand the aquatic programs in the community. Over $600,000 needs to be raised by June 30, 2004 to make this project a reality! for more info. check out www.southcoastpool.org

Marsella Young, a M4L member, has made it a personal goal to raise $25,000 for the Dream Foundation as she completes the Hawaiian Ironman in October 2003! Once accepted into the race Marsella’s dream was complete, but she wanted to make her accomplished goal into something that was bigger than herself and that would help others!
