Grant announcement part of week-long celebration for program’s fifth anniversary
Comerica Bank and the Detroit Tigers surprised unsuspecting students and faculty of Pershing High School in Detroit with a $5,000 Grand Slam Grant to benefit its baseball and softball programs.
Detroit Tigers outfielder Rajai Davis served as a celebrity judge on the Grand Slam Grant selection committee and will participate in a special on-field check presentation with representatives from the winning baseball and softball teams prior to the Detroit Tigers game against the Chicago White Sox on Saturday, April 18.
The Comerica Bank Grand Slam Grant program was created in 2011 to help public high schools in Michigan create, expand or improve their baseball or softball programs. Past winners include Cass Technical High School, Lincoln Park High School, Detroit Renaissance High School, Holland High School, Kalamazoo Central High School, Mona Shores High School and Robichaud High School.
