Back in 2005, Friendship Circle produced a batch of car magnets with our logo printed on them as a small, free swag for our community. What began as a random creative idea has since become our most widely recognized form of spreading awareness for children with special needs and Friendship Circle. To date we have distributed over 50,000 magnets.

Normally these magnets happily perform their life's duty by staying adhered to their car's bumper (unless you go through the dreaded car wash). However, this past week these magnets have been spotted on army tanks, hot rods, cruise ships, in the palm of Lady Liberty, unsuspecting horses and even on a famous dolphin's prosthetic fin
Families, volunteers and supporters alike have taken on our annual "Magnet Madness Challenge" in an effort to creatively spread the magnets around Michigan and the world. Participants were challenged to capture the magnet in a creative location or in a creative display.
This week, the public is voting on their favorite Magnet Madness picture and the winner received an iPad 2!
This is your chance to vote for the most creative magnet. Vote Now!
