Attention Young Model A Enthusiasts
If you are 14 and less than 22 and interested in Model As, please check out our program. The Model A Youth Restoration Award program, known as MAYRA, has been helping youth financially since 1994. If you are interested in a Model A and have the determination to get it on the road, we aim to help you restore it by providing financial support to purchase parts and supplies. Since 1994, over 120 youth have received over $210,000 to help with their restorations. You could be the next recipient.
In 2024, there were thirteen recipients. Each received $2,000 in gift certificates from Model A parts vendors. For 30 years, awards were made every two years. Awards are now made every year. Applications must be received by May 31.
If you are interested in Model A’s, everything you need to know is on our new website, www.ModelAYouthRestorationAward.org. It describes the program and its eligibility requirements and includes an online application.
Where does the money to support MAYRA come from? Eighty Percent of our funds come from local Chapters and Regions of MAFCA and MARC, fifteen percent from Model A parts vendors, and the balance from the national MAFCA and MARC organizations, individual donors who believe in the goals of our program, and memorials that honor deceased members.
