About
the Mark Munsell Memorial Foundation
The Mark Munsell Memorial Foundation
(MMMF), is a Missouri non for profit
corporation established in December
of 2003 in memory of a great man,
husband, brother, son and friend.
MMMF is a 501(c)3 entity organized
exclusively for charitable purposes.
Our goal is to support children and
help them become better adults
through athletics. We feel
supporting children through MMMF,
Mark will be remembered and honored,
as athletics and mentoring were
essential elements of Mark’s short
life.
Our fundraising
efforts have already begun helping
the local community. Over the past 6
years, MMMF has helped local youth
teams with monetary and equipment
donations. In addition, we are very
proud to announce the endowment of a
scholarship in Mark’s name at his
ala mater, Southeast Missouri State
University.

Honoring Mark & Helping a Community
In the summer of 2008, storms and flash floods nearly destroyed the Flint Hill baseball fields, used by 220 children on 18 teams. These fields were once home to Mark and his Legion teammates in the early 1990s before the O’Fallon American Legion had their own field and park. The Flint Hill Athletic Association was forced to reschedule its 2008 season on fields in St. Paul and Josephville. The Mark Munsell Memorial Foundation has donated funds to restore & improve the fields and fencing, which has since occurred. In the future, our family plans to erect a monument in Mark’s honor at the refurbished park. To show their appreciation, the Athletic Association is hosting the Mark Munsell Memorial Baseball Tournament for 16 pee wee teams on July 11th at the Flint Hill fields.
