The MCYWC would like to present our Family Movie Night!
One of our goals as a club is to create connections with families and community members. We will be hosting a Family Movie Night at Veterans Park on Saturday, May, 27th, 2023.
Our main goal is to provide an event to support time together; there is no admission fee, and popcorn is FREE!!! There will be concessions and a 50/50. The funds raised from concessions and the 50/50 will support wrestlers’ summer camp fees and new wrestling mats. Although there is a fundraising component, you are not required to give to attend. This event is free to all.
We appreciate all the support and look forward to seeing more kids involved! We are so grateful to be a part of this community!! 🖤
