Come join MATP staff at Fli-Anthropy’s Family Advocacy Fun Day at Ballenger Park in Flint on Saturday, June 27, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.!

Stop by our table to explore and try a variety of assistive technology devices, learn about resources available through MATP, and discover tools that can support independence at home, school, work, and in the community.

The day will also feature games, delicious food, door prizes, and plenty of family-friendly fun. We hope to see you there!

The background features blue skies, bubbles, and a collage of smiling children, teens, and adults interacting, playing, and spending time together outdoors. Some children are flying kites, dancing, or playing, creating a welcoming family-friendly atmosphere.

A banner across the middle states: "Advocate & Earn a $25 VISA Gift Card, *First come first serve for 50 families*".

📣 We’re Seeking Sponsors! 🏆

Join us in making a difference for Flint’s youth!

Fli-Anthropy is currently seeking community sponsors for our upcoming Safe Space Showdown: Dodgeball Tournament, happening on Saturday, September 27th, 2025.

This free community event will bring together youth, mentors, and families from across the city for a powerful day of connection, competition, and healing.

With the rise in youth violence across our city, it’s more important than ever to uplift and amplify the safe spaces that protect, empower, and support our young people. In addition to a high-energy dodgeball tournament, we’ll host a Youth Safe Space Fair, giving local organizations a platform to share resources and offer on-site enrollment into youth programs, mentorships, and support services.

🌟 Want to become a sponsor?
Please contact Jordan Johnson, Vice President

Let’s come together to show Flint’s youth that their lives, voices, and futures matter.
