Detroit Welcomes Nfl Draft Week with $1M in Nonprofit Investments
Foundation: Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan
The NFL's 2024 draft will be held in Detroit, and to celebrate, the city's mayor threw a football to kick off draft week on Monday, the Detroit Free Press reports.
"I now declare the events and festivities of the 2024 NFL draft in Detroit officially open," Mike Duggan said.
"We are thrilled to be making an impact here in Detroit by hosting community events that highlight the unique role that football plays in bringing people together to leave a positive impact on the city."
More than $1 million in grants and programming were announced for 30 local nonprofits at the Community Impact Draft.
"Once the NFL leaves town, what's left behind? Part of our mission in the NFL was that we wanted to have a positive legacy impact once they're gone," Dave Beachnau, executive director of the Detroit Sports Commission, tells MLive.
"Today's announcements are the tangible delivery on the commitment made to the NFL and the Detroit community as we continue our efforts to infuse community support into locally hosted sporting events beyond the NFL draft."
