MGM Grand Detroit is Proud to Give Back to the Community

Congratulations to the MGM Grand Detroit Merry Merry $10,000 Monday winners!

Voters who chose their favorite nonprofit on our “Touching Communities, Touching Lives” Facebook page on Cyber Monday, Nov. 28, cast nearly 700 online votes. Five organizations, representing MGM Grand Detroit’s key community investment areas, including education, youth, arts, diversity and development, competed for a share of $10,000. Three winners were chosen. 

First Place ($7,000): The Generation Project places creative control in the hands of donors by allowing them to design personalized gifts that will expand opportunities for K-12 students in low-income communities.

Second Place ($2,000): Youthville of Detroit provides a safe haven, training opportunities and personal support for at-risk youth.  The organization’s main facility is a destination for teens needing an infusion of “belongingness,” and allows them to have fun, dream, learn and participate.

Third Place ($1,000): Affirmations helps lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals find and develop communities where they value and respect themselves and others. Programs and services help reinforce the wholeness, strength and resiliency of LGBT people.
