Spring signals growth, and boy have we grown! 🌱🦋

About 30 years ago, the Foundation’s year-end balance totaled $1 million. Today, we manage over $18 million!

Growth doesn't happen by accident: growth comes from intentional leadership, sustainable decision-making, and putting people over profit. That's how we build trust.

We can’t wait to see how we grow this year!

We attended the America 250! Dedication Ceremony with the Stoney Creek Chapter, NSDAR at Mount Avon Cemetery. Throughout the year, the America 250 events will continue to remind us of our heritage, and we have lots of heritage to celebrate right here at home.

Supporting events like this is part of our mission to enhance our community, and we're glad to continue to be a part of it all.

It was a great day to support Paint a Miracle at their annual luncheon this afternoon! As always, the art was incredible, and their mission is so timely. As the world gets faster, slowing down is even more important.

Glad to be a part of such a great community event!

The 2026 Men's Fund Giving Breakfast this morning was a rousing success!

This year, the Men's Fund pivoted to refocus its purpose to supporting youth in sports. We heard from Oakland University Men's Basketball Head Coach Greg Kampe and NFL Linebacker Frank Zombo numerous reasons why this mission is critical right now.

When kids learn the lessons of teamwork, they learn them for life. A good coach will leave an impression on kids that can last a lifetime, long beyond youth sports. We need more teamwork in our world, not less!

Thank you to all the men who stood up and pledged to be a Platinum Donor in support of the Men's Endowed Fund, which will provide funding for kids to play team sports who may not otherwise be able to. We appreciate you! Thank you for sharing our vision of how to continue to grow our community.

And last but not least, a huge shout out to our sponsors and to Oaks Country Club for making the morning happen!
