Local car‑cru group cleared to donate June event proceeds to D7 athletics
Summary
A community group referred to as 'the Cru' asked the Dearborn Heights School District #7 board for permission to donate proceeds from a June 13 fundraising event to the district athletic department; the board indicated approval during the presentation.
At the start of the board meeting, Michael, identified as a co‑founder of a group referred to in the meeting as "the Cru," told trustees his organization holds an annual cruise/meet event and this year plans to direct proceeds to the district athletic department in memory of a teacher.
Michael described the June 13 event format — sponsorships, T-shirt sales and concessions — and said previous years’ proceeds have supported district programs including the band and robotics classes. He asked for the board’s permission to donate the funds to the athletic department.
Board members responded positively during the presentation and indicated the group was "good to go." No formal action item or vote specifically tied to the Cru donation appears in the agenda packet; the presentation was in the meeting as a community request and the board voiced appreciation for the group’s volunteer work.
The co‑founder said prior beneficiaries included the district band and robotics programs and that this will be the Cru’s fifth year of fundraising. Organizers plan to solicit sponsors, sell apparel and run concessions at the June event to raise funds for the athletic department.
