This purpose may be achieved through the promotion of four core initiatives: (1) The gift of time and talent of the MCRAA members to the school for various programs benefiting the students. (2) The MCRAA will provide for financial assistance for the Scholarship and Laptop Initiative for graduates meeting the criteria. (3) The contribution of opinions and ideas to the school's administration based on the schools strategic plans. (4) The creation of activities for camaraderie amongst the alumni body with the goal of involving the alumni in long-term loyalty and dedication to the Miami Central Senior High School and its programs. In 2023, MCRAA had 224 paid members, yet, through our program we assisted hundreds more. Through membership dues and fundraising efforts, we were able to provide 41 laptops and 24 college scholarships to MCHS students and gifted over $10,000 to the school to support its programs and events and to local community nonprofits. We also held events aimed at building our membership and supporting MCHS events. Our signature event, The Alumni Experience, which is a picnic held at the Arcola Lake Park, which is near MCHS, was attended by hundreds fellow Miami Central Alumni from classes from the 1960s all the way to the 2000s. Approximately 30% of the attendees, were from out of town, bringing valuable tourism dollars into Miami-Dade County. Other events included the Commissioner's Cup, the annual football game and tailgate party that celebrates the decades old friendly football rivalry between MCHS and Miami Northwestern Senior High School. In addition to these, we held a Breast Cancer Walk... 0 48047 48047 Errol Bryant President 10 0 0 0 Chandra Burse Vice President 10 0 0 0 Twander Stringer Treasurer 10 0 0 0 Sheryl Henderson Secretary 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 FL Tra'Donn Glover 9701 NE 2nd Ave Nbr 1009 Miami Shores FL 33138 7869085053 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 8963 17435 24577 32321 110156 193452 8963 17435 24577 32321 110156 193452 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 193452 8963 17435 24577 32321 110156 193452 1 1 0 0 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 includes cash and non cash gifts provided directly to Miami Central High Schools (MCHS) student (laptops &/or scholarships), donations to Miami Central High Schools for programs and activities benefitting MCHS student, and contributions to nonprofit organizations Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Advertising and marketing;1685|Fundraising Expense;6278|Community Event Expense;5793|Insurance;684|Bank Fee;3|Subscriptions;3|Office supplies;1300|Software and Apps;617|Materials and Supplies;13288^Total;29651^ The MCRAA was forced to change its Treasurer near the due of this 990EZ form.
