Midland Soccer Club, a 501 (c) 3 formed in 1977, serves nearly 4,000 players annually from 25 counties. With over 104,000 visitors and players annually, the club brings over $3 million to the region in sports tourism. Given the growing ranks of area athletes and youth recreational programs, the MSC recognizes that the region desperately needs additional indoor athletic facilities and has launched a capital campaign to construct a 150,000-square-foot indoor athletic facility on its campus. Construction is slated for fall of 2025 and opening in the 2026 soccer season.
The Children’s Grief Center of the Great Lakes Bay Region was awarded a $25,000 grant from the Charles J. Strosacker Foundation for essential print materials that support grieving children and families in the community. This funding will allow The Children’s Grief Center to distribute high-quality resources that provide guidance, comfort, and education to children, teens, and their families navigating the difficult journey of grief helping reach their vision of communities where no one grieves alone.
