“We have a number of partners in sports you haven’t tried like rugby, skateboarding, breakdancing, robotics and chess,” said Addison Mauck with the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy.
Matthew Williams is the manager of baseball growth initiatives for the Tigers and says he’s passionate about paying it forward.
“I was born and raised in Detroit and my first love was baseball. Baseball kept me focused, made sure I had grades to graduate from Wayne State, now working for the team I grew up rooting for, is a blessing,” Matthew said.
