LANSING (Oct. 15, 2019) — The Michigan Sports Legacy Conservancy has launched a Fall Fund Development Drive with legendary sports broadcaster Jim Brandstatter as Honorary Chairman to support the organization’s mission to preserve and interpret the history of sports in Michigan and use
the platform of sports to provide education for youth.
The MSLC as a not-for-profit 501(c)3 entity, was founded to fill a gap that existed in which there was no statewide organization dedicated as the repository for sports history, collections and artifacts. To support this is important mission, the MSLC has developed a strategic collaboration with the Michigan History Center/Archives of Michigan to serve as the preeminent historical repository, educational tool and inspirational vehicle for youth and sports fans of all ages in the state of Michigan.
“The mission of the Michigan Sports Legacy Conservancy is vital in preserving the rich history of sports that we are blessed with here in Michigan,” said Jim Brandstatter. “I support their efforts to not only
preserve this legacy, but also to use it to educate and inspire our youth.”
The MSLC Fall Fund Development Drive begins today and will run through December 31, 2019. Those seeking to support the important mission of the MSLC can donate directly at www.mislc.org at the following levels: Home Run $1,000; Touchdown $500; Medalist $250; Hat Trick $100; Free Throw $50 and leadoff $25.
“The Michigan Sports Legacy Conservancy Fall Fund Development Drive was developed to generate necessary funds to further the MSLC mission and to provide educational opportunities for youth including conflict resolution, role-modeling and life-lessons,” said Steve Barnaby, Chairman, Michigan Sports Legacy Conservancy. “If you care about preserving the rich history of sports in Michigan and helping our youth, the MSLC Fall Fund Development Drive is your opportunity to show your support”
