An Actioned Packed Day of Summer Fun with The Boys & Girls Club of Flint

P8031670 
On August 3rd, Quicken Loans and Fathead teamed up once again with the Detroit Pistons to host a summer festival and day of kickball fun with the Boys & Girls Club of Flint.

More than 400 Boys & Girls Club members enjoyed bounce houses, a bungee run, inflatable basketball hoops, an obstacle course, and carnival games in celebration of the partnership between the Pistons and the Boys & Girls Clubs in Michigan. There was also a special appearance and opening ceremony with The Mayor of Flint, Dayne Walling, Pistons ambassadors, Pistons mascot Hooper, and members of the dance team, Automotion. In March, the team held the Pistons Care Telethon which raised more than $350,000 in support of Boys & Girls Clubs. 

 Quicken Loans DIFF makers helped by setting up before the event, playing in a kickball tournament with B&G Club members, and assisting with carnival style games and activities. Patrick McInnis, CEO of Fathead, who’s a Flint native, spent the day with the kids, and then grilled more than 500 hotdogs and hamburgers for everyone that attended the BBQ style picnic!

 The Boys & Girls Club of Flint provides high quality youth development programs, sporting activities, events and a safe haven for children from all walks of life. For more information about the Boys & Girls Club, click here

Quicken Loans and Fathead Compete With Creative Fundraising

Quicken Loans Fathead The Open Door Outreach Center Community Relations

What do you get when you mix an opportunity to help a great cause and a little friendly competition? Well at Quicken Loans and our sister company Fathead you get enthusiastic team members willing to give support by volunteering, supporting fundraisers, and participating in charity events.

Each year, Quicken Loans’ own Tony “Brass” Nuckolls and Fathead’s Patrick “Real.Big!” McInnis go head to head competing to see who can raise the most money for the Julie Run 5K, benefiting the Open Door Outreach Center which provides emergency services to families in need throughout Oakland County.

This year, Tony and Patrick jumped right in recruiting walkers and runners for their teams and worked hard with a little creative fundraising. In the week leading up to the 17th Annual Julie Run, Tony and Patrick could be seen walking the floors selling ice cream, or outside washing cars. Team members could back their man and choose which team they would support, the “Pat Pack Team” or the “Brass Nuckolls Team.

You may be wondering who “won” this friendly competition between Tony and Patrick, but I believe this neck and neck contest was too close to call. It is safe to say however, that Open Door Outreach was the definite winner! Quicken Loans and Fathead raised over $4,000 for the 17th Annual Julie Run. I’ve heard rumors that Tony and Patrick are already egging each other on for next year’s event!

Golfing For A Good Cause

Quicken Loans 2010 Detroit Lions Golf Outing

By Wendy Kemp

Quicken Loans and Fathead were proud sponsors of the 20th Annual Detroit Lions Golf Invitational. Fathead CEO, Patrick McInnis, played 18 holes of golf with Detroit Lion Calvin Johnson and other members from the Fathead team at TPC Michigan in Dearborn.

Money raised at the golf outing will help the Detroit Lions Charities Foundation, which has provided assistance to more than 80 non-profit organizations this year alone.

Supporting the Detroit Lions is just one of the ways we Make a Difference in the Community.

Quicken Loans and Fathead.com Help Motown Celebrate its 50th Anniversary

Motown Museum's 25th Anniversary, Where Quicken Loans and Fathead Helped CelebrateQuicken Loans joined several other Detroit companies to help Motown celebrate its 50th anniversary.

Proceeds from the event benefit the Motown Museum in Detroit to help keep the memories and history of Motown alive. The star-studded event at the Detroit Marriot was hosted by comedian Sinbad and we heard words of inspiration from Barry Gordy, Jesse Jackson, and a special video from President Barack Obama conveying his well wishes.

The audience danced and sang along to the sounds of the Temptations, Aretha Franklin and stood to their feet when Stevie Wonder asked Kid Rock to join him on stage. Quicken Loans and Fathead.com are very proud of their commitment to make a difference in the City of Detroit.

Check this out now at MSNBC.
