Macaroni Make a Difference Day~Coming Soon!

July 29, 2014
What is Macaroni Make a Difference Day? MMDD is our chance to do something great and important in our community. We are focusing our MMDD here in Roanoke on Anti-Bullying Awareness. I choose this as our focus because I think it’s a topic that still needs to be addressed with kids of all ages. Our hope is that kids and families will feel empowered and ready to stand up to bullying so we can once and for all put an end to it. Hopefully in the future we won’t need anti-bullying awareness events because it will be a thing of the past. But, in the meantime MMDD is our way to use our voice to be heard. 

Bullying is when you choose to hate and we want kids to knock out bullying and choose kindness. A simple act of kindess is really all it takes to make a powerful impact on others. At our event we are going to encourage kids to sign an anti-bullying pledge and strive to do simple acts of kindness every single day. 

While details are still in the works here is a little of what you can expect:
  • Guest Speaker on Anti-Bullying
  • Free Anti-Bullying/Assertiveness training class for kids
  • Anti-Bullying activities for kids
  • Vendors and information booths
  • Food and drink
  • Lots of family fun!
We will be announcing an Anti-Bullying poster contest for kids soon, as well. All posters will be displayed at the event, and we have some great prizes from local sponsors lined up for winners.


Mark your calendars and Make a Difference with us!

When: Saturday, Sept 20th from 10-1pm 
Where: Star City Skate Center
