Mi-Cycle Named Impact100 Metro Detroit Grant Finalist
Mi-Cycle is strengthening its roots at the Marygrove Conservancy and has been recognized by the Impact100 Metro Detroit organization for its mission and positive impact. Every year, Michigan women donate $1000 to the organization and review applications for funding. SAY Detroit’s Mi-Cycle program is a finalist and is looking forward to presenting its case for support in May.
Mi-Cycle continues to provide bicycles for community members in need of transportation and exercise. A bike repair training class was recently developed and is now necessary before community members can collect a bike. Mi-Cycle is also partnering with local schools to distribute bikes to students, most recently Davis Aerospace Technical High School.
SAY Detroit Hosts Dream Day
Over 20,000 children in Metro Detroit go to sleep each night without a bed of their own. Through our partnership with the Furniture Bank of Metro Detroit and their 1,000 Beds Challenge, we are proud to help make a difference. On Saturday, April 25, 100 SAY Play students and members of the local community received a free bed frame, mattress, new pillow and bedding, along with a toothbrush kit and a book—providing not just comfort, but dignity and a better night’s sleep.
The bed give-a-way event at SAY Play was filled with family activities like face painting and magic shows. And most importantly, bed-making lessons, disguised as contests! Who could make a bed faster and better!
Community Gathers for Radiothon Distribution
We commit to sharing a portion of the funds raised during our annual SAY Detroit Radiothon with Mitch Albom with fellow community non-profits who share our mission. On March 30, we gathered fund recipients at the SAY Detroit Play Center, for a storytelling and networking event.
We are thankful for your support in strengthening our community and our partnerships.
