The Motor City Veterans Hockey Association received $500 from the Troy Community Foundation Spring 2026 Grant Cycle to support its “Summer Engagement Series”. This is a three-month program running from June through August, designed to keep disabled veterans and their families actively connected during a period when structured programming is typically limited. The program centers around consistent, low-barrier engagement opportunities, including two ice hockey sessions per month hosted in Troy, MI, providing veterans with a reliable and therapeutic outlet through physical activity and peer connection.

In addition to the on-ice sessions, the Summer Engagement Series includes a June kickoff BBQ, a July softball outing with a picnic, and a group outing to a Detroit Tigers game at Comerica Park. These events are intentionally designed to be family-inclusive and accessible to veterans of all ability levels, creating opportunities for social connection beyond the rink.

Together, these activities form a simple but impactful program that promotes routine, strengthens relationships, and supports the mental health and well-being of veterans throughout the summer months.

Motor City Veterans Hockey Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Metro Detroit that provides disabled military veterans with a structured and supportive environment through the game of ice hockey. It operates as part of USA Hockey’s Warrior Hockey discipline, which is specifically designed for disabled veterans and offers regular ice sessions, team practices, competitive tournament play and community-based events.

Congratulations, Motor City Veterans Hockey Association! And thank you for supporting our local veterans.

The Berkley/Athens/Troy High United Ski Race Team (BAT) is a high school alpine ski team made up of athletes from Berkley, Troy Athens and Troy High School students. It is a composite team that allows students from multiple schools to compete together in Michigan’s high school ski league. The team races in slalom and giant slalom events, primarily at Pine K**b Ski Resort. Athletes participate in both on-snow and dryland training while building skills, strength and teamwork.

This past spring, the team applied for the Spring 2026 Grant and received $250 from the Troy Community Foundation to support Troy-area youth. These funds helped the team purchase training and competition resources, such as uniforms and training and safety equipment.

We are proud to support a program that offers a competitive yet social environment where students form friendships across schools while developing as ski racers. Congratulations, BAT United Ski Race Team!
