MMA Cadets Participate in 2022 Tyronn Lue Community Day of Service

On Friday, October 7, 2022, MMA's corps of middle school and high school cadets volunteered at local organizations in central Missouri for the 2022 Tyronn Lue Community Day of Service in Mexico, Missouri – in recognition of Mexico native and head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers Ty Lue.

Selfless service is one of MMA's core values. An important component of cadets' 360° Education at MMA, community service provides an early understanding of philanthropy and a sense of direction and belonging for cadets. It promotes empowerment, self-worth, and empathy, and it develops social, emotional and physical skills.

MMA cadets contribute roughly 8,000 hours of community service hours annually – from cleaning up parks, to spending time with kids and veterans, to working with food-share programs and more.

In total, MMA cadets positively impacted 19 local organizations, including ...

• Little Dixie Fire Protection District
• McMillan Early Learning Center
• Eugene Elementary School
• Mexico Animal Shelter
• Williams Family Support Center
• Mexico Parks
• Mexico Veterans Home
• VFW
• Audrian Community Hospital
• The Help Center Inc. Food Pantry & Thrift Store
• and more.
