To support the inclusion of individuals with developmental disabilities in their community. Mary became a role model to all who came in contact with her.

MQM promotes inclusive education, recreation and social opportunities. It exists to foster an awareness of how inclusion is not only the best practice but the right of the individual with a disability. Mary Quinn was the youngest child of a family of five from Floral Park. Mary Margaret was born with Down Syndrome and other medical conditions including a congenital heart disease and a respiratory condition. Mary exhibited the true spirit of strength throughout her life and faced her illness head on with a smile. Her smile, laughter, and overall personality exhibited the true meaning of living life to the fullest. Mary was able to show individuals the true meaning of friendship and inclusion. On April 17, 2015 Mary tragically passed away. The Mary Quinn's Mark Foundation was created to promote the inclusion of individuals with special needs in all aspects of their community and will keep her memory and spirit alive. Mary was an active member of her Floral Park community. She enjoyed spending time at local pool, park, church, and school. Her favorite aspects of her community were getting her nails done at Friendly nail salon, ordering a sicilian slice at Village Pizzeria, hanging at Swing the Teapot, or enjoying a cold ice at the Tulip Sweet Shop after school. The benefits of inclusion were apparent both to Mary and to the community of Floral Park that she was apart of! Mary was mainstreamed in Our Lady of Victory School from Pre-K to 8th grade. Mary's classmates encouraged and supported her, in which she was an integral part of the school. Upon graduating Mary went to Floral Park Memorial, her local high school. Mary was a member of the Florettes Kickline Team. She was accepted not only on the team but by the entire Floral Park Memorial School Community.

In MQM Craft Class, we were fully in our patriotic era… because these arrangements were absolutely serving red, white, and blue perfection. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

From the creative touches to the festive flair, every arrangement came out beautiful and full of summertime Americana charm. The room was filled with laughter, creativity, and lots of patriotic spirit, and everyone did such an amazing job bringing their designs to life.

Perfect for Memorial Day, Fourth of July, summer tables, or just adding a little star-spangled sparkle to your home. 🇺🇸✨

Saturday we proudly dedicated our 10th Anniversary Fundraiser to Trinity and presented them with this jersey as a small symbol of our endless appreciation.

Trinity continues to be an inclusive beacon in our community and constantly gives back without ever asking for recognition. From hosting our annual fundraiser, to graciously welcoming our Molloy graduation dinner each year, to always showing up for MQM and so many other foundations throughout town, their support never goes unnoticed.

To Mike, Kevin, Debbie, Steve, Laura, Bobcat, Flo, CJ, Kelly, Colin, Julie, every bartender, kitchen staff member, waitress, and the entire Trinity family — thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your kindness, generosity, and unwavering support have helped make our mission possible for the last 10 years.

We truly could not do this without you. 💛
