The annual Illuminations: Benefit is a celebration of community and an opportunity to honor people who have made important contributions to MMFS or the field of learning disabilities. Along with members of our community, we have honored such notable figures as writer
Andrew Solomon, children’s author
Patricia Polacco, playwright
Wendy Wasserstein, and award-winning children’s author (and former MMFS parent and trustee)
Andrea Davis Pinkney.
It’s not only our signature fundraiser. It’s also one of the most fun events of the year.
Illuminations: Benefit 2025 was a great night. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we raised vital funds for the future of MMFS and our students.For more information, contact Director of Development Sadia Mehmood-Pellicano
