We invite you to join us at
Illuminations: Benefit 2026; Building a Brilliant Future on May 7 at 501 Union, Brooklyn. MMFS's annual Benefit is a celebration of community and an opportunity to honor people who have made important contributions to MMFS or to the field of learning disabilities. It’s not only our signature fundraiser, it’s one of the most fun events of the year!
This year we are pleased to honor two beloved members of our community for their transformative contributions to our school.
Jim Signorelli, Middle School Dean of Students, will receive the Violet Longobardi Award for his extraordinary dedication to Mary McDowell Friends School.
Deborah Edel, MMFS’s first Director of Admissions and longtime MMFS Trustee, will receive Adam's Prize for her exceptional work on behalf of children with learning disabilities.
Our fundraising efforts will focus on building the MMFS community and ensuring our students have the resources and support they need for years to come.
