Tarik Skubal Named Detroit Tigers Nominee for the 2024 Roberto Clemente Award Presented by Capital One
September 8, 2024
Major League Baseball announced that Tarik Skubal was named the Detroit Tigers’ 2024 nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award presented by Capital One, baseball’s most prestigious individual honor for Major Leaguers.
The Roberto Clemente Award presented by Capital One is the annual recognition of a Major League player who best represents the game of Baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions, both on and off the field.
As part of the annual program, each MLB Club nominates one player to be considered for the league-wide Award in tribute to Clemente’s achievements and character.
This year, Tarik and his wife, Jessica, generously donated in support of Alternatives for Girls, an organization that seeks to empower homeless and at-risk young women by providing critical interventions and support. The donation from Tarik and Jessica is primarily focused on helping domestic violences survivors in the Metro Detroit community through Alternatives for Girls’ new housing unit, Dr. Maya Angelou Village.
Dr. Maya Angelou Village is a 100 percent affordable housing development through Alternatives for Girls and Full Circle Communities created to serve individuals and families in the Metro Detroit area. The development has a total of 45 units, 23 of which are dedicated solely to Alternatives for Girls. The donation from Tarik and Jessica covers the cost of all essential household supplies (bedding, pots and pans, cleaning supplies, etc.) for individuals and families as they move into each of the 23 units.
In addition to his work with Alternatives for Girls, Skubal has made an unrestricted donation to the Tigers Foundation, which has awarded more than $26 million in grants, Tigers tickets and college scholarships to local Metro Detroit residents since its inception in 2005. Skubal has also been involved in the Tigers Autograph for a Cause program since 2021. His Autograph for a Cause cards benefit the Detroit Tigers Foundation and the Little League program in his hometown of Kingman, AZ.
Sunday, September 15th marks the annual Roberto Clemente Day presented by Capital One, which was established by Major League Baseball to honor Clemente’s legacy as a humanitarian and to formally acknowledge Club nominees of the Roberto Clemente Award. As part of the league-wide celebration, the Roberto Clemente Day logo will appear on the bases and official dugout lineup cards and a customized tribute video to Clemente and the 30 Roberto Clemente Award nominees will be shown in all MLB ballparks on Roberto Clemente Day as well as on MLB Network, MLB.com, MLB.tv, Club sites and MLB Social Media Platforms.
The league-wide winner of the Roberto Clemente Award presented by Capital One will be honored at the 2024 World Series following selection by a blue-ribbon panel. This panel includes representatives from the Commissioner’s Office, Capital One, MLB-affiliated networks (MLB Network, FOX Sports, ESPN and TBS), MLB.com, the National Baseball Hall of Fame, as well as Roberto’s children, Enrique, Luis and Roberto Clemente, Jr. Beginning today, fans can vote for the Roberto Clemente Award presented by Capital One via MLBTogether.com/clementeaward (in both English and Spanish). The site, which will feature bios of each of the nominees, will allow fans to vote until the end of the season on Sunday, September 29th. The winner of the fan vote will count as one vote among those cast by the blue-ribbon panel.
The concept of honoring Major League players for their philanthropic work was created in 1971 as the “Commissioner’s Award.” The recognition was renamed to the “Roberto Clemente Award” in 1973 as tribute to Clemente following his passing while delivering relief supplies for earthquake victims in Nicaragua on December 31, 1972.

Ilitch Companies Foundation Continues its Support of Local Non-Profit Groups
August 29, 2024
During an August 24 celebration in The District Detroit, three Detroit-based non-profit organizations making a positive impact in the city each received $100,000 from the Ilitch Companies Foundation. This year’s beneficiaries were:
In expressing gratitude for the support, David Sampson, CEO of Mariners Inn said that “In the field that we’re in, we have to apply for grants every single year to make sure the operations continue. So, when you can be gracious enough and grateful enough and lucky enough to receive these types of contributions, it tells us that people still believe in us and helps us to do the work that we need to do.”
“We wouldn’t be where we are without the community,” said Marie Madison-Patton, co-director and chief operating officer of the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. “We’re there to serve the people of Detroit, and without them, we wouldn’t be where we are.”
Coleman A. Young Foundation Executive Director Khary Turner said, “The Ilitch Companies Foundation gift allows us to grow the Coleman Young statue initiative. The more community members we can get excited about this campaign and wrap their arms and their resources around it, the more scholarships we’re able to give to Detroit youth.”
The August 24th evening event allowed guests to learn more about community organizations as they mingled throughout the pedestrian-friendly Columbia Street and the historic Fox Theatre, sampling food from area restaurants, enjoying live entertainment, and more.
“It’s important for folks to come together from our business community, from government, from other philanthropic organizations to make sure our youth have a chance, that all of our residents here in Detroit have a chance,” said Detroit City Council Member, Fred Durhal III.
“Tonight is the opportunity to celebrate those who are champions, who come together to do so much for our community.”
On Monday, August 26, the 16th annual Celebrity Golf Classic hosted by Ilitch Companies Foundation further supported community fundraising efforts.
“The Ilitch organization has called Detroit home for decades, and thanks to the unwavering vision of our CEO, Chris Ilitch, we continue to bring our partners together to make our community a better place today and in the future,” said Joshua Sanborn, director of Ilitch Companies Foundation.
Over the years, the Ilitch Companies Foundation, Ilitch Companies and its affiliates and owners have donated more than $275 million to worthy causes.
Olympia Development and Cinnaire Solutions Begin Restoration on the Historic Henry Street Apartments in The District Detroit
August 27, 2024
Marking a momentous day in The District Detroit, Olympia Development of Michigan and Cinnaire Solutions were joined on August 28 by Mayor Mike Duggan, Michigan State Housing Development Authority, Housing and Revitalization Department and other city officials to commence the restoration of Henry Street Apartments. Located in the Cass Henry Historic District, this housing complex will consist of 170 newly renovated units that both preserve history and incorporate modern design with 49% of the units at affordable rates ranging from 30% to 60% Area Median Income.
Henry Street Apartments is a first of its kind development that encompasses one city block and consists of seven buildings in total; six residential buildings and one centralized Community Center complimented by private parking and greenspace for tenants and their guests. The Community Center amenities include a business center with meeting space, fitness center, dog wash, extra laundry facilities, package reception and a leasing office.
“We are committed to improving the lives of people in Detroit,” said Keith Bradford, President of Olympia Development of Michigan and The District Detroit. “We are deeply grateful for our partners on this project and the partnership with the city of Detroit and the state of Michigan for making this possible. This development will transform the Cass Henry Historic District and further foster community.”
Henry Street Apartments is an $80 million public-private partnership and a historic restoration project that includes critical funding from the State of Michigan and the City of Detroit in addition to Olympia Development’s investment and Cinnaire’s contributions.
“This isn’t just any project. It is partnership and vision at its finest and wouldn’t have been possible without Michigan State Housing Development Authority, the City of Detroit, MSF and all the other critical partners represented here today,” said Cinnaire President Mark McDaniel. “One of the features that makes this development especially unique is the Ralston Commons, a community where residents can gather to receive services, to celebrate and to engage.”
This project was made possible through loans from Comerica Bank and Bank of America, along with Low-Income Housing Tax Credits from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, American Rescue Plan Act funding from the City of Detroit, and HOME funds from the city and the state, Michigan Community Revitalization Program funding from the Michigan Strategic Fund administered by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, and ARPA funding from State of Michigan Labor and Economic Opportunity office.
Julie Schneider, Director of the Housing and Revitalization Department at the City of Detroit, said “We are thrilled to witness the groundbreaking of the Henry Street Apartments, a transformative project that embodies our commitment to revitalizing Detroit’s historic neighborhoods while addressing the critical need for affordable housing. This initiative represents a significant stride towards enhancing our city’s fabric, providing quality homes for a diverse range of residents, and preserving the architectural heritage that makes Detroit unique. Our collaboration with Cinnaire Solutions, Olympia Development, and various state and local partners highlights the power of public-private partnerships in driving meaningful progress and creating vibrant communities.”
The first of the seven buildings is expected to be completed in the spring of 2026. Neumann/Smith Architecture is the Designer and Architect-of-Record for the Henry Street restoration. O’Brien Construction, which also led the work on the historic Eddystone residences, is the construction manager. The properties will be managed by Elite Property Management.
Olympia Development of Michigan, an Ilitch company, is a real estate development firm dedicated to improving the lives of people who live, work, and play in Detroit and beyond. Through catalytic developments, innovative design and construction and inclusive placemaking, Olympia Development continues to create jobs, produce needed housing and attract business to Detroit while continuing to expand the city’s world-class sports and entertainment destination, The District Detroit. Other recent housing projects include restoration of the Eddystone residences, the Residences @150 Bagley in partnership with Bagley Development Group, 2525 Woodward Avenue, 52 Henry Street and 64 Edmund Place led by Edmund Place Partners, along with commercial development including Little Caesars Arena, 2715 Woodward Avenue, Little Caesars Global Headquarters and Columbia Street.
