Pop, Rock and Roll - Cirque du CMOM Tennis Tournament!It was the first ever Cirque du CMOM Tennis Tournament presented by Patton and Taylor! Ladies found a new way to Pop, Rock and Roll while they supported a cause near and dear to their hearts, CMOM! With more than 40 participants, the first year was a great success. All players went home with t-shirts and goodie bags while the winners received special trophies. Thank you to all of the sponsors and players! Everyone had a 'Rockin' Good Time!'

2014 CMOM Golf Scramble!On October 30, golfers teed up to support their favorite cause, CMOM! With International Paper leading the way as Title Sponsor, the scramble was a sell out for teams and sponsorships! Around 120 golfers came out on a beautiful day to help raise more than $70,000 for our educational programs and exhibits. Golf committee members Ron Kastner, Britt Daniel, Austin Ehrat, Chuck Hamlett, Patrick Reilly, Philip Spinosa, Alex Stringfellow and Matt Wilson worked to ensure a fantastic event. Thank you to all of our sponsors and to everyone who participated!

"That's a Wrap" - Special Events at CMOM!In September to celebrate Grandparent's Month, CMOM held Games with Grandparents. Families played checkers, bingo, jenga and many other classic board games! Cookies and lemonade were served as a special treat and some guests participated in the generations look-a-like contest!

As the cool weather started to set in, the Snow Sisters came back to CMOM for a visit! The Children's Ball was such a great success that there were two nights of fun this year! Everyone loved the walk down the red carpet, sword fighting and carriage rides, but dancing the night away was the best!
