Promoting healthy lifestyles, developing programming, and building a health and wellness center to serve the community
We are looking forward to a great event tomorrow evening, March 21st, for our 5th Annual MAC Matters Gala.
The event is officially sold out and should be a very entertaining evening for all in attendance.
Friday: March 21st, 6:30 p.m. Farm Bureau Community Building, Brandenburg, KY 40108
Todd Wagner Foundation along with supporting partners, invite you to attend a private event celebrating individual and community innovation.
This event supports “THE SEARCH” Featured Innovators from across the region who’ve entered the competition for a chance to win $10K while promoting their startup (spots still available), along with the Meade Activity Center, an innovative KY community project focused on improving the lives and health of rural Kentuckians.
We welcome all entrepreneurs, innovators & business leaders within the area to join us for this event! This is a chance to network, get inspired, support a great cause & have fun!
Our thanks to the following supporting partners: KY Cabinet of Economic Development, InnovateLTC, and Bellarmine University.
The MAC is fortunate to have a great staff comprised of MCHS coaches and cheerleaders that provide instruction for our classes.
Due to the MCHS Cheerleading squad making Nationals in Myrtle Beach, we will need to change the start date for all GYMNASTICS and CHEER & DANCE. With spring break just around the corner we are now going to launch our Spring classes on Saturday, April 12th. This will allow for consecutive weeks of programming with no gaps in between (weather permitting.) Feel free to contact our office with any questions or concerns.
Thank you for your patience and we look forward to seeing you at the start of our new program session in April.
The MAC is excited to release the list of items that will up for auction at the upcoming MAC Matters Gala.

The region’s top innovators will compete for a $10,000 prize offered by billionaire philanthropist and entrepreneur Todd Wagner during an event at Bellarmine University on Friday, March 21, 2014.
The competition, dubbed The Search for the Next Big Thing, will be limited to 100 participants, who will present and discuss their ideas with high-profile entrepreneurs and potential investors during the Friday event and at an Innovation Mixer held the prior evening.
The competition is sponsored by the Todd Wagner Foundation, Bellarmine University’s schools of business and communication, the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development and the Louisville Metro Department of Economic Growth and Innovation. The entry fee is $199, with proceeds benefitting the Meade Activity Center, a planned wellness and community center in Brandenburg, Ky. Registrants will receive two tickets to the Friday innovation competition and two tickets to attend the Innovation Mixer with local business leaders.
Innovators can apply for the competition online athttp://www.thesearchforthenextbigthing.com.
On the morning of March 21, participants will showcase their innovations at tables throughout Bellarmine’s Frazier Hall. Judges will select the top five innovators, who will present their ideas that afternoon as they compete for the $10,000 prize.
The judges include Wagner, Kentucky Economic Development secretary Larry Hayes, Louisville Economic Growth and Innovation chief Ted Smith, CompaniesWood principal Phoebe Wood, Commonwealth Leverage Group founding partner John Reinhart and Signature Healthcare chief development officer Rich Tinsley. A list of preliminary round judges is available on the competition’s website.
Wagner and Mark Cuban co-foundedBroadcast.com, which Yahoo! purchased in 1999 in a deal valued at $5.7 billion. His most recent project is the January 2014 launch of Chideo.com, where celebrities and fans network to raise money for charitable causes. Wagner also partners with Cuban on several entertainment ventures, including Magnolia Pictures, Landmark Theatres and AXS TV. He has led the Todd Wagner Foundation for more than a decade.
