How to Stay Updated with MACC Fund News and Events
Updated
MACC Fund offers two direct ways to keep up with its work: subscribing to The MACC Monthly, its official email newsletter, and following the organization on social media using the hashtag #maccfund. The newsletter is described as a monthly publication covering the latest research and advances in the fight against childhood cancer and related blood disorders, along with news about upcoming events and programs. If you want updates delivered to you rather than checking the site repeatedly, the newsletter is the more structured option; social media is better for ongoing conversation and sharing.
Subscribe to The MACC Monthly
The MACC Monthly is MACC Fund's official email newsletter, published monthly. According to the organization, it keeps subscribers up to date with:
- The latest research and advances in the battle against childhood cancer and related blood disorders
- News about upcoming events and programs
To sign up, use the subscription sign-up entry point on maccfund.org (the site presents it under a "Get Connected & Give Hope" section). After submitting your email, you should expect the newsletter to arrive on a monthly basis. If you don't see it, check your spam or promotions folder before assuming the sign-up failed.
Follow Along on Social Media
MACC Fund also invites supporters to join the conversation on social media using the hashtag #maccfund. This is a lighter-weight way to stay connected — useful if you want to see community posts, event mentions, and shared stories as they happen rather than waiting for a monthly email. The site's "Let's Get Social" section points visitors to this hashtag as the way to participate.
Which Option Fits Your Goal
| Goal | Better fit |
|---|---|
| Receive organized, periodic updates on research, events, and programs | The MACC Monthly newsletter |
| Follow real-time conversation and share posts with others | Social media with #maccfund |
| Both stay informed and help spread the word | Do both — subscribe and use the hashtag |
The site frames these as complementary: the newsletter delivers news to you, while the hashtag lets you help spread the word.
A Note on Getting Involved Beyond Staying Informed
Staying updated often leads to wanting to do more. MACC Fund's site highlights donating, and it also recognizes community partners through its "50 in 50" program, which celebrates partners investing $50,000 or more in honor of the organization's 50 years of hope for kids. If your interest is in supporting rather than just following, the donation and partnership paths are covered separately on the site.
For the most current sign-up form, event listings, and social links, go directly to maccfund.org — details like specific events and program schedules change over time, so the site itself is the authoritative source.
