The GMACF Gala has become a hallmark event, drawing supporters passionate about uplifting the Milan community. Proceeds from the Gala help fund initiatives that support local organizations such as Milan High School Robotics, Aid in Milan, and the Milan Historical Society, among others.

Strengthening Milan Through Philanthropy

As an affiliate fund of CFMC, GMACF plays a pivotal role in fostering local philanthropy. The fund is overseen by a dedicated advisory board, whose responsibilities include educating the community about GMACF's benefits and ensuring impactful grant distributions.

The current Affiliate Fund Advisory Committee includes Dr. Eric Peacock, Chris McMullen, Jodie Franklin, Tina Walther, Cassie Prior, David Snyder, Bryan Girbach, and Todd Shultz.

"We are incredibly proud of the leadership and dedication shown by our advisory board," said Jodie Franklin, committee member and local Realtor. "Their work supports projects that enhance the lives of Milan residents both now and for future generations."
