Murfreesboro Medical Clinic Employee Committee Donates to Endure Athletics and Special Kids

MMC Hearts & Hands Employee Committee oversees fundraising events and donations made throughout the year by MMC staff. Every year, MMC employees choose a few local organizations that will benefit from the charitable giving. In 2017, MMC was proud to support two local charities, Endure Athletics and Special Kids Therapy and Nursing Center.

Murfreesboro Medical Clinic is passionate about community involvement and giving back, which is why the Hearts & Hands project was formed. Through this project and the various fundraisers performed within the clinic family, MMC was proud to donate$5,705 to the two charities chosen for last year.

Endure Athletics, located in Murfreesboro, serves the homeless youth in Rutherford County. They offer several opportunities, including after-school, weekend, and summer camp programs to offer children a free, structured and encouraging environment to grow. Endure Athletics focuses on literacy and mentorship, in addition to fitness and athletics. Their goal is to enrich the lives of the homeless youth in our community.

Special Kids is a Christian Therapy and Nursing Center for children with special needs. They offer various therapy options, including physical, occupational and speech therapy.Special Kids also provides many other resources, both for children with special needs and their families. Their mission is to provide care for not only the child, but also for the entire family.

Joey Peay,Chief Executive Officer of MMC, noted, “While the supported organizations typically change from year to year, the overwhelming support and passion of the staff of MMC for these non-profit, community service organizations is truly heartwarming. It makes me proud to lead an organization with so much compassion shown by our staff for their neighbors in need!”
