Supporting Youth through the Mack Ellis Foundation
The Mack Ellis Foundation was created in 2024 to honor the life of Macklin “Mack” Ellis. One of his greatest wishes was to return to the show stock community and give back to those less fortunate. In carrying on that legacy, the foundation is proud to support young people who share that same love for 4-H and FFA.
What is new with the Mack Ellis Foundation
April 2025
The Mack Ellis Foundation is proud to provide financial donations to 18 youth from SunShine Acres, a children's home located in Mesa, AZ, that offers a safe and loving environment for children who have been separated from their parents. This program was deeply meaningful to Mack, and these donations, to be presented at the Maricopa County Fair, will help these young individuals continue their involvement in 4-H and FFA. By supporting their passion for agriculture and livestock, the foundation ensures that these youth have the resources they need to pursue their dreams and build a bright future. Mack’s dedication to giving back to the community lives on through this initiative, helping foster growth and opportunity for the next generation.
