From the creator of The Mavy Award and President of Mavens Move nfp

There was a time when I didn’t have the right shoes… but I still showed up.

And years later, I saw the same thing in other girls.

The passion is there.
The drive is there.

But access?

That’s what changes everything.

That’s why we do this work.
That’s why THE MAVYS exists.

This is bigger than an event.
It’s about creating opportunities, opening doors, and making sure the next generation doesn’t have to push through alone.

Join us.
Be in the room.
Be a part of the impact.

This is your sign to keep moving!!

Not everything deserves an award.

But this does.

Because this kind of work
The kind that serves people.
The kind that shows up without recognition.
The kind that changes lives quietly.

That deserves to be seen...

On August 8, 2026
We take the time to honor it.

The MAVYS, presented by Media Maven Worldwide, is the signature fundraising event for Mavens Move NFP.

A space where service is recognized.
Where impact is celebrated.
And where purpose is front and center.

This year’s theme, Flowers in Bloom, represents what happens when people continue to pour into others over time.

Growth
Transformation
Legacy

And while we celebrate that work....
We are also building something greater...

Opportunities for our youth,
Access to media and mentorship,
And real pathways that change lives

Be part of the moment!
