MMFC and
COVID-19

Prior to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, MMFC volunteer teams averaged more than 20 trips per year in a dozen different countries. This all changed as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. However, despite the immense challenge this pandemic presented, MMFC has continued to impact the care of destitute children and families in Africa, Asia, and Central America. Read More

2021 MMFC Charity Golf Tournament

This is the 20th year for the MMFC Charity Golf Tournament. Several years ago, we changed the name of the tournament to recognize Kevin G. Mcguire, who was an active member of the Marshfield Country Club and the heart and soul of the charity tournament for years.

The tournament typically fields 120 – 130 players and is always one of MMFC most successful charity events of the year. The play is a shambles format and includes a boxed lunch, raffles, dinner and auctions in the evening. The tournament also features a Helicopter Golf Ball Drop on the 18 Hole at the end of the day. The three balls closest to the hole win a cash prize. Many of our winners donate their earnings back to MMFC.

What is cleft lip & palate and why is it so prevalent in certain areas?

Cleft lip and cleft palate occur when tissues in the baby’s face and mouth don’t fuse properly. Normally, the tissues that make up the lip and palate fuse together in the second and third months of pregnancy. But in babies with cleft lip and cleft palate, the fusion never takes place or occurs only part way, leaving an opening (cleft).

Success Stories

Denver
Denver is a 7 year old boy who lives 4 hours away from Angeles City in province of Aurora. Denver has been bullied a lot. When he is bullied he will just return home, even if he is at school. His parents need to smash up his food so he can eat it. Then each bite is followed by milk to wash the food down. His father, Nick, is a rice farmer. They journeyed to Angeles City when Nick's sister-in-law told him about MMFC's Mission for February.
Maria
Maria Anne was a 3 month old girl with cleft lip and palate. Apparently both the birth parents have cleft deformities in their families. This year, we will fix her cleft lip and if she’s healthy and weighs at least 20lbs next year, we will fix her cleft palate. Maria Anne came back in February 2019 to have her cleft palate fixed. Along with the palate surgery, the doctors will fix some of the scarring from the cleft lip surgery.
