The MBA is proud to support Barney, The Blue Devil. Barney and his human are making a difference in our community every day.

Barney, The Blue Devil continues to be amazed by the incredible support he receives from the Marietta community. 🐾

As a 100% donation-funded program, Barney wouldn’t be able to carry out his mission without the generosity of community partners like the Marietta Business Association. Their recent casino night fundraiser, with proceeds benefiting
Barney, is just one example of how this community shows up in meaningful ways.

Barney and his human are truly grateful for the continued support—it makes a real difference in the lives of the students and schools they serve. 💙
