Rocket Mortgage Classic Contributes $1.61 Million to Local Nonprofits The 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic raised a total of $1.61 million to support local Detroit nonprofits. Connect 313, a collaborative partnership focused on bridging Detroit’s digital divide, founded in 2020, received $581,400 of the proceeds. Since 2019, the Rocket Mortgage Classic has invested more than $8.4 million into local charitable organizations, including $4.3 million in contributions to the event’s landmark “Changing the Course” initiative to connect Detroit residents to high-speed internet, digital devices and digital training. “With the support of the Rocket Mortgage Classic’s ‘Changing the Course’ initiative, more than 141,000 Detroit households have enrolled in the ACP. But that’s just the beginning,” said Connect 313 Board Chair Laura Grannemann, and see the impact it is having has been very gratifying,” said Steve Niezgoda, Bay Harbor Golf Club Head Professional and Team BOYNE’s Harbor Cup Captain. “We also could not do any of this without all the support we receive from the Harbor Cup Charitable Fund, a component fund of the PetoskeyHarbor Springs Area Community Foundation, along with the Country Club of Boyne and Bay Harbor Golf Club members, area businesses, vendors, and homeowners.” For more information on BOYNE Golf, visit www.BOYNEgolf.com. who is also a member of the Rocket Giving Fund board and serves as the Executive Director
