Message from the chair: Calling all partners
Kids matter here. That’s been our mantra the past 20 months. Kids matter everywhere, of course, but for too long neighborhoods outside the downtown core of Detroit have gotten the short end of the stick. We want to change that. Thanks to a generous gift from our founder, Rose Skillman, we've been working on behalf of Detroit children for nearly 50 years. But we need others to join with us so we can change the odds for Detroit kids.
