For the fourth consecutive year, Game Changers is recognizing outstanding difference makers in the community who profoundly impact the lives of Michiganders.
As a part of the Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings ongoing series, in partnership with Comerica Bank, the program identifies and celebrates highly regarded leaders representing communities across the state of Michigan throughout the year.
During National Arab American Heritage Month, Game Changers is recognizing leaders in the community making transformative change in the lives of youth. In addition to being celebrated at a Detroit Red Wings game, each honoree receives a $1,000 grant dedicated to the charity of their choice from the Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings.
This year’s Arab America Heritage Month awardees include: Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services Chief Operating Officer Lina Hourani-Harajli, HYPE Athletics Community Founder and CEO Ali Sayed, America’s Community Council President and CEO Dr. Haifa Fakhouri and American Arab Chamber of Commerce President and Chairman Ahmad Chebbani.
Since the Game Changers program inception in 2021, $80,000 has been contributed to local organizations committed to improving Metro Detroit communities.
