MMI Guild

Tickets online for the MMI Guild Garden Walk 2012

The mission of the MMI Guild is to improve the quality of life for persons with disabilities through fundraising for the UNMC Munroe-Meyer Institute. Over the past 40 –plus years, the major fundraiser for the MMI Guild has been the annual garden walk held in June. Proceeds from that event and others total more than $1 million over the past four decades. These funds that are generated through the Garden Walk are used to help fund programs at the Institute that might otherwise go unfulfilled.

The Munroe-Meyer Guild supports innovative projects and training at the Institute including the following grants awarded in 2012:

Education and Child Development - $11,000
- a student traineeship stipend

Physical Therapy - $17,000
-mobile eye tracking headgear, hardware and software that provides researchers a more accurate and meaningful way to measure cognition in children

Speech-Language Pathology - $7,115
-the expansion of a literacy program that helps older children decode words and work on phonics to improve their reading skills
-provide more intensive literacy camps during the summer, with group and individual therapy sessions
-provide in-service training to teachers

In addition to the Grants the Guild hosts a Brunch for all MMI staff in February of each year.
