2026 Gardens of Madison County Volunteer Opportunities

Required

 

Dear MRA Families,

Welcome to the 31st Annual Gardens of Madison County, our school’s cherished tradition and signature fundraiser, happening May 1-3, 2026. This beautiful event brings together families, friends, and the community to celebrate creativity, nature, and generosity - all while raising essential funds that directly support every student and teacher at MRA.

The week begins with the colorful Daisy Dash and continues with the Gardens Party and inspiring Gardens Tour throughout the weekend. As this event grows each year, the passion and participation of our entire MRA family are vital to its success.

Please take a moment to explore the committee opportunities below and consider signing up to help. It truly takes all of us working together to create this memorable experience to support our school and community.

We look forward to celebrating with you!

Sincerely,

Tara King and Mallory Rosamond
