Ask any member what they love most about the Toledo Opera Guild, and the answer likely will be the friendships that are formed. Many share a passion for philanthropy.
McMahon founded the local chapter of Make-A-Wish, which provides enriching opportunities to children with life-threatening medical conditions.
"It is a chance for you to offer joy and hope and strength to someone else and maybe give them something that they can't get themselves," she said in her nomination video.
The national Jefferson Award is a prestigious recognition for community service. McMahon and the other three local recipients will be considered by a panel in Washington, D.C., for a spring announcement.
McMahon is a longtime member of the Toledo Opera Guild, serving on its board of directors mailings committee this year.
A special Thank you to all my Opera Guild friends. It was comforting to see your sunshiny faces at the tables next to me, especially since the weather was truly one of the coldest and worst days of March. I will always remember the extra effort you each made to come share this special day with me. For those of you who committed to attend the breakfast but were derailed by weather, I appreciate your support as well. Hugs to each of you, Marcy
