HAVEN Tailgate

Over 100 supporters came to the Birmingham Athletic Club dressed in Lions gear to cheer on the team and raise funds for HAVEN. The event provided critical resources for HAVEN’s domestic and sexual violence services. HAVEN’s Tailgate featured a gourmet BBQ buffet, silent & live auctions, and an inspiring keynote from Kelly ‘Native Child Brown’ Mays, a therapist, poet and advocate. The Detroit Lions teams up with HAVENeach year to demonstrate that this issue affects everyone and to encourage men and women to be part of the solution through dialogue and awareness. Approximately $30,000 was raised.

DOWNTOWN: Unrivaled journalism worthy of reader support

​

A decade ago we assembled a small but experienced and passionate group of publishing professionals all committed to producing an independent newsmagazine befitting the Birmingham/Bloomfield area that, as we like to say, has long defined the best of Oakland County. 

 

We provide a quality monthly news product unrivaled in this part of Oakland. For most in the local communities, we have arrived at your doorstep at no charge and we would like to keep it that way, so your support is important.
