Macaroni Kid Celebrates Launch of its 500th Edition

WATERMILL, N.Y. - April 5, 2013 - PRLog -- Macaroni Kid, llc announced the launch of its 500th edition of its hyper-local e-newsletters and websites of family events and activities. The milestone edition is in Needham, Massachusetts, and in honor of Needham joining the Macaroni Kid family, the company will make a donation to Cookies for Kids Cancer.

"Today's launch of our 500th site is a huge achievement us. Macaroni Kid began with one edition in the summer of 2008, and we have made dramatic progress toward fulfilling our mission of sharing the best family events and activities with parents nationwide," said Joyce Shulman, Co-Founder of Macaroni Kid. "We believe Macaroni Kid is a revolutionary way of sharing the local scoop for families on a large scale platform, and we are thrilled to continue our expansion into hundreds of new communities across America this year."

Each Macaroni Kid edition is published by local mom (or dad) who curates her local content, sells her own local advertising and connects deeply with her local community. Macaroni Kid provides its publishers with an easy and proven way to become successful entrepreneurs.  “As proud as I am of what we have accomplished, I am most proud of the success we have seen from our publishers,” said Nicki Hemby, Co-Founder of Macaroni Kid. “They have changed their own lives and created new and exciting opportunities and experiences for themselves, their families and their communities.”

In addition to being a destination for locally curated family events and activities, Macaroni Kid delivers parenting tips, craft ideas, product reviews and more for local readers. And Macaroni Kid publishes several National editions based on topics of interest to parents including; Family Travel, Safety, Pregnancy & Baby’s First Year, Food and Nutrition and more.

Macaroni Kid editions are operating in 44 states and Canada. Future expansion is expected as Macaroni Kid continues its aggressive growth into every community where families live, learn and play.

Needham, MA is a “bedroom community” outside of Boston with a strong school system and is an excellent place to raise a family. The town was founded more than 300 years ago boasting a population of 45 families at the time.

A special Macaroni Kid 500 logo was created in honor of the newest member of the Macaroni Kid family and is proudly displayed on all 500 Macaroni Kid editions today. And to commemorate the milestone, Macaroni Kid will donate an additional $500 to Cookies for Kids Cancer. A cause devoted to aiding families whose children are battling pediatric cancer. Cookies for Kids Cancer raises money via local bake sales and Macaroni Kid lists and promotes these events as much as possible.
