Community Outreach
The HSMAI Community Outreach Committee plans and coordinates community service/volunteer projects throughout the year and serves as the liaison with HSMAI's "Charity of the Year" projects.
How will you make a difference in 2010?
The Community Outreach Committee is working on fun and impactful events for 2010. Our goal is to offer HSMAI members the opportunity to positively contribute to the community while having fun without a year long commitment. We welcome you to join us for one or all of our events.

April 24
17th Annual Serve-A-Thon for Schools
Griffith Elementary
A small but hearty team of volunteers participated in this year's Serv-A-Thon. Team HSMAI was part of 1,800 HandsOn volunteers who beautified 30 schools and impacted the learning and lives of nearly 15,000 children across Greater Phoenix. The generosity of our volunteers and sponsors allowed us to raise $100,000 to support our year round programs. HSMAI members and guests raised money and spent a half a day helping to revitalize Griffith Elementary by painting a mural in their stairway and helping to landscape the school grounds. Thank you to all of our dedicated volunteers.
