🤖 Our middle school GET-IT Club participated in the 2026 Robofest Official RoboParade World Championships, and what an experience it was at Lawrence Technological University ! With an Animal Kingdom theme and teams from around the world, our girls proudly represented MEP and connected with students from countries like China, Egypt, Ghana, and Mexico. 🌍
While we didn’t place, our team pushed through challenges, made it past the first round, and gained invaluable lessons in teamwork, resilience, and staying calm under pressure. 💡✨
We’re so proud of their creativity, determination, and growth. These talented girls are just getting started! 💪💙

What an unforgettable night! ✨ On May 7, MEP’s 20th Annual kicked off with a vibrant cocktail reception and our new “Raffle with a Twist,” where staff and volunteers championed six mission-critical goals for MEP. We were honored to welcome 10 incredible alumnae, including Jennifer Gonzalez-Hernandez, whose powerful story reminded us how MEP helps women take flight toward meaningful careers.

Another highlight of the evening was our powerful Impact Video, which brought our Taking Flight theme to life and showcased the real stories and futures your support makes possible. You can watch the video here: https://youtu.be/JHsxNUQoLeU ✈️

Thanks to the generosity in the room and the leadership of Councilmember Gabriela Santiago-Romero, we raised over $66,000 toward our $75,000 goal. Every gift helps women and girls continue their journey to success. Donate today with a note that you’re raising your paddle at www.mercyed.net/donate.

💙 To all our guests, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters: thank you for believing in our mission. The impact of this night will soar far beyond the gala. Visit the photo gallery at https://www.mercyed.net/doorway-2026-gallery
