4 MMD THANKS OUR COMMU NITY PARTNERS FOR THEIR SUPPORT It s a rough year for many local businesses, which is why we especially appreciate the support we received from several in the community. When JLD sought corporate sponsorship to make MMD bigger and better this year, Publix Supermarket Charities came through with our largest donation by far, which is just another reason why Publix is our favorite grocery store. In addition, The Champion, always a steady supporter of JLD over the years, agreed to advertise MMD free of charge. The Bloom Law Firm also provided cash sponsorship of this event. Finally, AirTran and Lux Studio came through with generous in-kind donations, which we will raffle off at the event. Please remember the generosity of these businesses as you choose products and services over the next year. We certainly will. Other local businesses were able to donate other cash amounts, products, or gift certificates for our raffle. Thanks to the following groups for their help in making this event festive and fruitful.
