What is ICC?
Ilitch Charities is a non-profit organization that invests in our community's future by supporting innovative, collaborative and measurable programs in the areas of community development, human services, education and recreation through contributions from the Ilitch companies, their colleagues and the generosity of others. Ilitch Charities grants have recently been awarded to C.O.T.S. (Coalition on Temporary Shelter) to build an infant care center, Children's Home of Detroit, Math Corps at Wayne State University, Special Olympics of Michigan, Bridging Communities, Kids Kicking Cancer, Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic, MI-COPS (Michigan Concerns of Police Survivors), the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, and the Junior Achievement Finance Park in Detroit. Ilitch Charities also supports the Little Caesars AAA Hockey program and the Little Caesars Amateur Hockey League through the establishment of an annual scholarship program.
How can I help?
IC hosts a variety of fundraising events throughout the year to raise money that we in turn contribute back to the community. Recent events have included the Inaugural Celebrity Golf Classic on August 25, 2008 at Oakland Hills Country Club and the Champions' Challenge Charity Softball Game at Comerica Park on September 9, 2006.
