Detroit, Mich. (Nov. 16, 2009) –Mercy Primary Care Center of Detroit (MPCC) honored our most distinguished volunteer Fran Kavanaugh at the Association of Fundraising Professional’s 18th Annual National Philanthropy Day at the Hyatt Regency Dearborn.
Ms. Kavanaugh is described as “dedicated” to MPCC. “Fran is the first one to volunteer for anything at MPCC. You will see her on the front lines of every event, committee, meeting or gathering, working without stopping. She is a veritable force of nature and we couldn’t ask for a more spirited, committed, dedicated, wonderful person to work with,” read the biography in the event’s program.
National Philanthropy Day is sponsored by the Association of Fundraising Professionals, Greater Detroit chapter, and honors area philanthropists, foundations, volunteers and staff at this annual event. Over 500 guests attended the event and local awards were given out to seven individuals and foundations that make a difference in both raising money and volunteering their time to help fulfill the mission of area non-profit organizations.
We thank Fran for everything that she does for MPCC! We couldn’t ask for a more dedicated volunteer and are honored to have her support for our mission.
