Marie Cassidy's Celebration Party

The Medford Family Network has been the "heart of the village" for over 30 years. This June, as we celebrate the incredible legacy of founder Marie Cassidy and look toward a sustainable future for our community, we invite you to join us for MFN Spirit Week! From May 31st to June 6th, we are painting the city purple with a week-long celebration featuring over 20 events for families, alumni, and supporters of all ages. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful morning of community acupuncture, a high-energy playground meetup, a nostalgic storytime with Miss Marie, or a night of line dancing at the Beer Hall, there is something for everyone. How to Join the Celebration:• Participate: Join us at our daily meetups, classes, and concerts across Medford.• Support:&nbsp;Many events are free or "pay-what-you-can," with all proceeds going directly to the WeHeartMFN campaign to bridge the funding gap and keep our resources free for every family.•&nbsp;Dine Out: Visit our "Taste of Medford" partners all week long to support local businesses that give back to the MFN. It takes a village to raise a child—and it takes a village to protect the MFN. Check out the full schedule here, grab your tickets for our workshops, and let’s show our city how much this network means to us!
