MAPO’s Annual Fall Benefit Concert was an unforgettable evening filled with music, joy, and community! From the first note to the final encore, the spirit was high, the energy was contagious, and everyone in attendance truly had a great time.
If you couldn’t make it this year, you definitely missed a treat! But don’t worry — we’ve got you covered.
Watch the videos below for a glimpse of the powerful performances and the spirit-filled atmosphere that made the night so special.
We also had a heartwarming surprise for one of our beloved Board Members — a moment that reminded us all why the MAPO family is so strong and full of love. Thank you to everyone who supported, attended, and shared in this incredible event. We can’t wait to see you next year!
