MCASC Founder; Board Chairman Maddy’s paternal grandfather Shortly after Maddy's demise Dan decided that one of his missions was to eventually do something which would both keep Maddy's memory alive, and be significant in Maddy's name. MADDY CHILD ANGEL OF SANTA CRUZ is just what he was waiting for, and it showed up when he least expected it. This project has become very important to Dan to honor Maddy’s memory, and help protect children from similar fates.

MCASC Treasurer Maddy’s paternal grandmother Judy (Nana) Middleton is Maddy’s paternal grandmother. Judy feels that a statue in a park setting would be beneficial to her family and the community, who took such an interest in locating Maddy and mourned her loss. What better place than a park or someplace similar for families to share with their children about such an Angel who watches over Santa Cruz’s children and a reminder for children to always “Let someone know before you go.”
