Strosacker Foundation awards $25K grant to Children’s Grief Center

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.

Davenport University announced gifts totaling $210,000 from two foundations committed to the Midland community. The Charles J. Strosacker Foundation and the Rollin M. Gerstacker Foundation are supporting the university’s new Health and Science Innovations for Workforce Preparedness initiative, which aims to equip students with cutting-edge tools and technologies that will enhance health care education and directly address workforce shortages in Michigan.
