MDRT Foundation Awards $10,000 Grant to Wildflower; Recognizes Jeff Baron’s Volunteerism

The MDRT Foundation has awarded a $10,000 grant to Wildflower, a local nonprofit dedicated to serving children and families who have experienced the devastating loss of a parent. The grant was sponsored by Wayland resident and MDRT member Jeff Baron, a Wildflower Board member and tireless advocate for camp and Wildflower families.

Through its global grants programs, the MDRT Foundation is committed to building stronger families and communities around the globe. This year, the MDRT Foundation will award over $1.5 million in MDRT member-endorsed grants to more than 250 charitable organizations worldwide.

The generous grant from The MDRT Foundation will fund Wildflower’s Camp to College program. Teens will receive help selecting schools of interest, readying applications, increasing test readiness, and applying for financial aid and college scholarships identified through this program. Jeff Baron, MDRT Member and Wildflower Board member wrote, “Wildflower’s Camp to College Program will open doors for many teens who have already suffered enough in their young lives and deserve every chance we can give them!”

Boston Marathon 2020: Chris Warnat Can’t Be Stopped!

Boston Strong

“Boston. The marathon that all other marathons are measured by. This isn’t only the world’s oldest, but regarded as one of the world’s most challenging races.”

The 2020 Boston Marathon was like no other. For the first time in 124 years, the Boston Marathon was a virtual event. While this news was certainly not what anyone wanted, we were not stopped.

Chris Warnat represented Wildflower, running 26.2 miles through the streets of St. Simon’s Island, GA. It is Chris’s second year running for Team Wildflower. When applying to run, Chris said, “I have a burning desire to do something that will test everything about me as a person, athlete & runner. It’s the BOSTON MARATHON. If you run, you dream of running this race. It’s a benchmark & an exclusive club to be a member of.”

We so appreciate Chris’s perseverance and resolve in the face of so much change. From everyone at Wildflower, “thank you for running to help our families!”
