SAY Detroit Celebrates New Space and Opportunities
Last month we welcomed students into the new Kelly and Matthew Stafford & Friends Education Center on the grounds of the SAY Detroit Play Center at Lipke Park. Students are enjoying a more productive learning environment in expanded classroom space, access to learning labs and a theatre.
On Monday, April 1, SAY Detroit will welcome our three $1 million leadership donors: the Staffords, and representatives from the A.A. Van Elslander Foundation and the Clarence and Jack Himmel Foundation to celebrate the new space and the new opportunities it creates for our students and the local community.
A special thank you to the more than 1,000 general donors who contributed to expand SAY Play.
We can’t wait to highlight student programs in the next newsletter. Stay tuned!

Wellness Wednesday Continues Insurance Education
For many, it’s peace of mind. It’s protection for your family.
Krystal Woods, Life Insurance Professional
The March Wellness Wednesday hosted two dozen women to discuss the benefits of life insurance. A repeat guest for the SAY Detroit Health Clinic’s monthly luncheon, Krystal Woods, a life insurance professional, shared how GoFundMe is not life insurance. She highlighted that it is a personal topic and that people buy it for various reasons, including covering burial and funeral expenses. Wellness Wednesdays’ next session is April 17 and will discuss healthy eating and exercise. Register here.
Little Caesars Love Kitchen Serves Slices at SAY Play
Little Caesars Love Kitchen made a special trip to SAY Play to serve up slices to the students and staff! Since its inception in 1985, the Love Kitchen has served nearly 4 million people as it travels across the U.S. providing relief to the food insecure, people without housing, disaster survivors, military and first responders.
President and CEO of Little Caesars Enterprises, Inc., David Scrivano, personally handed out slices after taking a tour of the new Kelly and Matthew Stafford & Friends Education Center. Students were lucky if David prepared their plate – he knew he was feeding growing kids and was happy to give three slices per kiddo!

ATTH’s next project is April 20 at Mother Batie’s (United Sisters of Charity) in Highland Park. Read more
