Quicken Loans President and COO, Receives Community Hero Award from the Boys and Girls Club of Flint

Jerry Hendrix, Patrick McInnis, and Mark SerraBy: W Kemp

A couple of weeks ago I attended an event that I had been working on with the Boys and Girls Club of Flint since early spring. An event that would honor our President and COO, Patrick McInnis, with the Boys and Girls Club of Flint’s Community Hero Award. All of us that work with Patrick know that he is a hero, but how great it was to see him recognized in the community where he grew up for making a difference in the lives of others.

Patrick has been instrumental in allowing me to work with many organizations since I have been with Quicken Loans. Patrick will always be my go-to guy when it comes to working on projects in the Flint Community and other areas.  We have done everything from supporting the Eastern Michigan Food Bank’s food for seniors program, to working with Flint Athletes for Better Education and the Flint School District to re-build a track for the students, to supporting the Mott Foundation in their efforts to award graduating Flint-area high school students with laptops for college. But the biggest project to date was the Rock and Shock Teen Learning Center at the Boys and Girls Club of Flint - a collaboration between Rock Financial/Quicken Loans and our friends at the Pistons Palace Foundation in Auburn Hills.

When Mark Serra, Development Director of the B & G Club of Flint (in photo above with Patrick and B & G member Jerry) asked me my thoughts about honoring Patrick with the community hero award, I thought it was an excellent idea. In my mind, they could not have chosen a more deserving individual – but when Mark continued, and wanted my thoughts about naming the community hero award after Patrick I was absolutely elated by the idea.  Not many people can say they have an award named after them. 

Quicken Loans President and COO receives the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Flint's Community Hero AwardAfter months of planning and help from team members like Chris Kaufaman, from our graphics team who designed and created the invitation and the banner, our AV team who got things setup to show a special congratulatory video at the dinner, and last, but not least… Ginny Widner,  who was instrumental in managing the guest list and securing additional donations for the Boys and Girls Club of Flint. Huge thanks to all of you in helping to make this event a success.

On Thursday, October 16 our President Patrick McInnis accepted the award that will be forever known as the “Patrick McInnis Community Hero Award” in front of a very proud mother, his wife and children, family members, Quicken Loans team members and team leaders, friends, peers and even some of his teachers and coaches.

Congratulations to Patrick McInnis on receiving the “2008 Community Hero Award” and Congratulations to the Boys and Girls Club of Flint on having a sold out and very successful “Steak and Burger Dinner”.
