Tom Gores’ charitable donations to SAY Detroit have become an annual occurrence.
Earlier this week, the Detroit Pistons owner found a creative way to spur the spirit of giving in children.
Gores called the Detroit non-profit’s annual radiothon Thursday evening and pledged $350,000 during the event for the charity providing assistance to the city’s neediest residents, needs that have been exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic.
But in a creative twist, $250,000 will go to the non-profit, and the kids who attend the charity’s play center on Detroit’s east side will determine another charity (or charities) to receive the remaining $100,000.
