AHPR acquired the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) as a client in September 2001. With the MDA as AHPR’s longest-running client, the MDA team continues to focus on two major fundraisers: the Mike Bellotti Golf Classic and the charity auction. The goal is to promote these events while raising important funds that enable the MDA to provide services to more than 1,000 children and adults in Oregon who have neuromuscular diseases. AHPR has provided MDA with media services, auction programs, PowerPoint presentations and volunteers for the Mike Bellotti Dinner Auction and Golf Classic.
