Huge thanks to Brandon from In8 Create for facilitating a fun LEGO Lab team connection activity where we engaged in Serious Play! Using LEGO bricks to tell stories added a layer of playful creativity for this storytelling crowd. Working with the same set of bricks, and under the same instructions, we each created very diverse builds, showing our differences in style, approach, and perspectives. It was great to learn more about each other in such a novel way!

We proudly partnered with Charitable Gift America on the first–of–its–kind, #CGASigningDay, where 109 Spartan athletes representing 11 sports committed to giving back 5% of their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) contract value to a charitable organization of their choice. Congratulations to CGA board president Dr. Thomas Dieters and his wife Val for championing charitable giving and making a difference in so many lives. (Special thanks to our friend Matthew Mitchell Photo for capturing the excitement of the day!)

Michigan State University's left-handed pitcher Nick Powers is “pitching in” to support athletes with special needs by donating a portion of his name, image, and likeness (NIL) earnings to the Miracle League of Mid-Michigan.
Thanks to his NIL contract powered by Charitable Gift America, the senior pitcher hopes to contribute to the growth of the program, and potentially the addition of a new dugout and bleachers at the barrier-free ballpark located in DeWitt Township. #TeamMoonsail's cheering on this win-win!

The Michigan Healthcare Workforce Index, a first-of-its-kind report ranking the “health” of healthcare occupations in Michigan over the next 10 years, was released last week by the Michigan Health Council. The report will help assess the outlook of the field address shortages, and build a stronger healthcare workforce. We were pleased to see the report receive coverage across the state, including Crain’s Detroit Business, Bridge Magazine, Michigan Radio, and more. Check out this MLive story to learn more.

The Capital Region International Airport (LAN) officially locked in their LANding with American Airlines direct to Washington, D.C. through October 2028! We were thrilled to assist in a social media campaign to gain community support which resulted in letters from 800 mid-Michigan travelers, 23 governmental officials, and 65 business leaders. These letters were sent to the FAA and U.S. Department of Transportation to encourage renewal of this route. American Airlines officially gained federal regulatory approval for a five-year extension of daily nonstop flights from our state’s capital to our nation’s capital, which is a critical route for the community.
