Mike Ditka and MyMVPs.com Host Fundraiser to Help Children with Hearing Loss

On Monday, April 30, 2012, Mike Ditka and MyMVPs.com will host a fundraiser to support children with hearing loss at Child’s Voice.  Child’s Voice is a non-profit organization that provides listening and spoken language education to children with hearing loss from across the Chicago area.

MyMVPs.com will donate a portion of the proceeds from all sales that evening to Child’s Voice. This event is hosted by My MVPs.com, part-owner Mike Ditka and founder Mark Monaco at Buffalo Wild Wings, located at 28241 Diehl Road in Warrenville. Families and individuals are invited to join in the fun and support Child’s Voice by attending the event, meeting the Coach and helping to raise money for Child’s Voice.

“We are so excited to partner with MyMVPs.com and Coach Ditka,” shared Child’s Voice Parent Association President, Laura DiStazio. “To find an organization and individuals, like the Coach and Mark (Monaco, founder of MyMVPs.com) that are interested in helping others, is an amazing thing. As a mother of a child attending Child’s Voice, finding funds to make these amazing programs happen is a priority and I’m excited about this fun opportunity to partner with a community impacted by Child’s Voice.”
