Since 2018, I have sponsored a voter turnout competition for eight cities near me to promote voting and local public involvement. On Tuesday, 18 February 2025, I presented a check for $1,000 to the City of Huntington Woods, at its City Commission meeting presided over by Mayor Bob Paul. This prize was for having an 85.55% turnout in the November 2024 election and winning first place in the 2024 Voter Challenge (for the fourth election in a row). The funds will support summer music programs in the City.
Other designated charities to date:
Berkley - Berkley / Huntington Woods Youth Assistance - $500
Lathrup Village - Lathrup Village Children’s Garden - $250
Pleasant Ridge - Ferncare - $500, click here
Pending presentations:
Ferndale - Ferndale Community Concert Band - $250 (over 75% turnout)
Royal Oak - $250 (over 75% turnout) - charity not yet specified
