| Much Ado |
|
Since 2000, Michigan’s Children has held a special legislative recognition benefit called Much Ado About Something Wonderful. Each year this recognition event brings together the governmental affairs community and distinguished legislators who help us strive toward our vision of making Michigan the best state in America to be a child. The awards recognize legislators who have particularly distinguished themselves on behalf of children. In 2008, we were honored to add an award named after our long-time board member and friend, the "Kevin A. Kelly Child Advocate Award" recognizing someone outside the Legislature but never far from its rotunda, who shares Mr. Kelly's passion to make Michigan a better place for children and families.
Congratulations to our 2010 honorees: Legacy Heroes
