The big hitters who came out to show their support for St. Louis Center at Paesano’s in Ann Arbor on Sunday night September 13th and at UM Golf Course on Monday September 14th were more than just the folks who showed up with golf clubs in their hands. Renowned sports broadcaster George Blaha of the Detroit Pistons/ MSU Football, State Rep. Julie Alexander (R – Hanover) and Congressman Tim Walberg (R-Tipton) were also on hand to show their support for the children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities who call St. Louis Center their home.

According to Fr. Enzo Addari, CEO of St. Louis Center, “We are grateful to the many people who came out to support us with their prayers and their donations during these two events. Fundraising has been difficult this year as a result of the pandemic, and we couldn’t be happier with this year’s turnout for both events.
