This virtual event kicked off MG Awareness Month with an inspiring night of sessions, surprises and coast to coast landmark lightings.
MG Awareness Month started off with a bang last June 1st at MG Illuminate, a virtual event for the entire MG community. The two-hour online program featured engaging sessions and discussions, several big surprises and a light show in MG teal that stretched from sea to shining sea.
