Flint Michigan is First Stop for Pistons Care
A few months ago I had mentioned about the Pistons Care Telethon. The Detroit Pistons held a telethon during their March 11 game in conjunction with the Feed the Children Organization to raise money to help Michigan families. Flint Michigan was one of their first stops.
First Stop: Flint
Through an overcast sky and drizzling rain, the Pistons organization tried to make life a little brighter for families in need Saturday morning, with the help of Rock Financial, Fathead and Orchards Children’s Services.The collaborative effort to distribute boxes of food and personal care items to roughly 400 families was the first of many to come in 2009, all made possible by the $450,000 pledged to the Pistons Care Telethon two months ago.
Rock Financial and Fathead sponsored the donation of two fully stocked semi-trailers, which they named “Fathead” and “Big Rock.” The sister companies were eager to bring one truck to Flint, the hometown of Fathead CEO Patrick McInnis.
“It’s a great feeling to come back home to Flint and lend a hand to those who could use some help getting through these tough economic times that are affecting everyone,” McInnis said. “I know I speak for all Rock Financial and Fathead team members in saying we are very proud to have been involved in helping so many families right here in Michigan.”
