This year’s Match Day was the largest so far bringing in $898,262 in a single day on November 19th, 2013. The combined efforts of our non-profit partners, the MCCF endowed funds, and our generous Mecosta County community truly lived up to this year’s theme of “Knocking it out of the park!”

Match Day checks were handed out at a special presentation on Tuesday, January 14, 2014 at the Big Rapids Holiday Inn. Getting back together with all of the organizations to celebrate their great accomplishment is the highlight of the year for us. This fundraising effort is so important to so many people in our County and every penny of the monies raised stays in our Mecosta County.
The Board of Directors of Mecosta County Community Foundation would like to thank everyone who played such an important role in this year’s event including the Match Day pool donors, those that provided In-Kind gifts, the organizations who participated, and our wonderful friends and neighbors of Mecosta County. You are one of a kind!
