In her previous professional life, Tammi Carr spent years masterminding the Mott Champions for Children’s gala weekends.
Drawing stars from throughout the Michigan and national sports world, the events raised thousands of dollars to help build a new University of Michigan children’s hospital.
For the past eight months, she has been planning another gala even, this one far more personal.
The ChadTough Foundation’s first dinner, the Champions for Change gala, was similarly star-studded and yet another example of Carr’s will, hoping to turn her son Chad’s memory into a cure for pediatric brain tumors.
