ABOUT + MISSION

It all started with beer, yoga, and a desire to do more in the community. Our Foundation has been hosting Bend & Brew since 2016. The proceeds raised from this weekly event go to student athletic scholarships.

Since then, we put on other programs reaching more youth in Southeast Michigan, including: Kicks for Kids giving kids confidence through new shoes; Operation: Christmas Wishes providing hundreds of low income elementary aged children with Christmas gifts; and a Food Pantry where we stocked healthy breakfast and snack options for High School students.

As we grow, we want the flexibility to take on new projects that resonate with us and help us in our mission to empower children.
