EAT Detroit Fun
On a beautiful Monday evening earlier this month, more than 1,200 passionate supporters came together for our annual EAT Detroit fundraiser, featuring some of Detroit’s most delicious restaurants. Together, we raised $200,000, which funds vital programming at the SAY Detroit Play Center, the SAY Detroit Family Health Clinic, Mi-Cycle, and so much more.
EAT Detroit included a VIP reception and afterglow at the restored Michigan Central Station and restaurants with a remarkable cumulative 20 James Beard Award nominations, with thirteen of those restaurants named as one of the Detroit Free Press’ “Top 10” over the past few years.
SAY Play Wraps Up Productive Year
The SAY Detroit Play Center wrapped up a successful year earlier this month! Thank you to all the students who joined us after school and made SAY Play their second home. And a special shout-out to our “Students of the Week” who demonstrated leadership qualities throughout the year, including integrity, self-awareness, empathy, effective communication, adaptability, and resilience. More than 25 students were recognized throughout the 2024-2025 academic year.
Changing Lives with Bicycles
As Mi-Cycle Director, Chuck Nagy frequently says, “Bicycles are freedom.” In 2024, Mi-Cycle collected, repaired, and donated more than 800 bicycles to children and adults in need of bikes.
Earlier this month, WDIV Local 4 / ClickOnDetroit’s Wheelie Good Cause program helped support SAY Detroit and Mi-Cycle by organizing a bike drop location and highlighting the efforts you make possible.

Wellness Wednesdays Moves to New Home
The June Wellness Wednesdays luncheon welcomed 20 women who participated in a discussion, led by Verlycia Dixon, a community health worker at Henry Ford Health System, about personal health advocacy.
After a one-month hiatus in July, Wellness Wednesdays will return on Aug. 20 to its new home at SAY Detroit Family Health Clinic, which recently relocated to a larger, more updated space at 1355 Oakman Blvd., Detroit, 48238, just over a mile from the Ford rec center.
