Detroit Tigers and Meijer Announce Expanded Partnership, Deepening Ties Between Two Iconic Michigan Brands
May 31, 2023
The Detroit Tigers and Meijer are broadening their longstanding partnership, and their commitment to serving communities across Michigan.
The Tigers and Meijer announced on Thursday, May 25 that the Michigan-based grocer will serve as the club’s first Jersey Patch Partner. As part of a multi-year extended partnership, Meijer will have its brand marks featured on the sleeves of Detroit’s home and away jerseys.
Tigers players and Ilitch Sports + Entertainment leadership joined Meijer executives and store team members at the Meijer supercenter at 1301 W. Eight Mile Road – the retailer’s first store location in the city of Detroit – to make the announcement.“
The Detroit Tigers and Meijer are synonymous with the state of Michigan, and we’re thrilled to extend our partnership with an organization that has a common vision about community engagement,” said Ryan Gustafson, Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer. “These are two of the most iconic brands in the state, creating millions of memories for fans and families each year. We appreciate Meijer’s support and partnership, and look forward to working together serving our great fans and customers for years to come.”
As part of the new “Striking Out Hunger” initiative, Meijer and the Tigers will contribute $100 every time a Tigers pitcher strikes out an opposing batter, or $100,000 per season during the partnership, to the Meijer Simply Give hunger relief program. Simply Give has helped feed families across the Midwest by helping local food pantries keep their shelves stocked since November 2008. The program has generated more than $80 million in donations to food pantries thanks to the continued generosity and support of Meijer customers, team members and food pantry partners, who are committed to helping those experiencing food insecurity.
“When you think about Michigan, Meijer and the Detroit Tigers are quintessential brands. Both organizations are rich with history and a genuine commitment to community, which spans generations,” said Rick Keyes, Meijer President & CEO. “The creation of the Striking Out Hunger initiative enhances this relationship, while supporting families in need throughout our state. This partnership really sums that up perfectly. We’re so pleased to strengthen our longstanding partnership with the Tigers and the Detroit community.
”The Tigers, Detroit Red Wings and Meijer will also continue teaming up for the Hometown Holiday Assist program, supporting Detroit families and local non-profit organizations in need during the holiday season. The Tigers, Red Wings and Meijer have hosted the Hometown Holiday Assist event for the past nine years, including a festive experience at Little Caesars Arena and Comerica Park for more than 100 children from Detroit’s Downtown Boxing Gym in 2022.
Elevate Sports Ventures advised Ilitch Sports + Entertainment throughout the process, contributing to the expanded partnership between the Tigers and Meijer.

May 30, 2023
As part of their ongoing Game Changers series, the Detroit Tigers and Red Wings recognized four Game Changers honorees – presented by Comerica Bank – for Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month at Comerica Park prior to the Tigers hosting the Chicago White Sox on May 25.
The latest four individuals celebrated for Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, have made significant contributions in their respective fields, creating an impact on young community members, businesspeople, and others throughout their careers. Each Game Changer received a $1,000 donation to their charity of choice, thanks to generous support from Comerica Bank.
Director of Community Impact for Ilitch Sports and Entertainment, Kevin Brown, remarked, “These Game Changers have truly made a difference in our community. Their dedication and achievements serve as an inspiration to us all.”
Among the honorees was Lisa Gray, the Founder and Executive Producer of Dragon Eagle TV (DETV), an Asian Pacific Islander American News Network in Detroit. Gray has demonstrated her dedication and results-oriented approach as a cross-cultural ambassador between China and the US. She focuses on building bridges between the AAPI community and the Detroit community at large, fostering social, cultural, business, educational, and political connections.
The next Game Changer recognized was Roland Hwang, former Assistant Attorney General for the state of Michigan. Hwang, born and raised in Detroit, initiated his activism journey as a volunteer attorney in the Vincent Chin murder case. In addition his career in law, Hwang is also a lecturer at the University of Michigan on Asian Pacific American history. Hwang’s significant contributions extend to co-founding the American Citizens for Justice, where he served as the organization’s first treasurer and now acts as the Board’s President. Additionally, he has held prominent positions such as the Civil Rights Hearing Referee for the state of Michigan and as a member of the Michigan Asian Pacific American Affairs Commission.
Dr. Su McKeithen-Polish, a Bilingual Education Program Director/Title III Consultant, was also honored as a Game Changer.

Dr. McKeithen-Polish’s involvement extends to her position as an Adjunct Professor at Wayne State University and her board positions with the Council of Asian Pacific Americans and the Asian Pacific American Chamber of Commerce.
Soh Suzuki, the Co-Founder and former Coordinator of the Detroit Asian Youth Project (DAY), was also recognized. The DAY Project was aimed at empowering Asian American youth in Detroit by cultivating their leadership skills and promoting social justice through community projects that fostered greater appreciation for Detroit’s Asian American community. Today, Suzuki is the Operations Manager for Allied Media Projects, currently serves on the Board of Education for the James & Grace Lee Boggs School and supports local political candidates with campaign finance compliance and reporting.
Claressa Shields Fight Night to Feature Detroit Music Superstars Kash Doll and The Four Tops
May 29, 2023
Boxing superstar and Michigan’s own Claressa “G.W.O.A.T.” Shields brings big-time boxing back to Detroit on Saturday, June 3 and will do so alongside two seminal music acts from The Motor City as Detroit hip-hop superstar Kash Doll and Motown legends the Four Tops are set to play key roles in festivities at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.
The Four Tops will perform the National Anthem prior to the night’s main event, while Kash Doll will rap Shields to the ring as she makes the walk to defend her undisputed middleweight crown against top-rated contender Maricela Cornejo in action streamed live on DAZN in the U.S. and Canada.
“I have been looking forward to fighting at Little Caesars Arena for so long, and to have Kash Doll and the Four Tops as part of the event will make it even more special,” said Shields. “The Masters of Motown and the Queen of Detroit joining the Queen of Flint…I can’t wait for June 3rd!”
Citing poignant words from her hit song, Kash Doll said, “Run me my money. All bets are on Shields!”
The Four Tops, expressing their excitement for June 3, stated: “We The Four Tops are so proud to be singing the national anthem and representing the city of Detroit at Claressa Shields vs. Maricela Cornejo at Little Caesars Arena. We wish both the fighters the best of luck in this great matchup between two of the finest women boxers in the business.”
“Detroit has been a center of sports and culture for decades. June 3 is the return of championship boxing to Detroit and we want to highlight the city in all its glory,” said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions, the event’s promoter. “June 3 live on DAZN at Little Caesars Arena is the place to be, with championship action inside the ring and a legendary atmosphere to give fans in Detroit and beyond a 2023 flavor of Motown. Detroit is America’s greatest comeback city.”
The Detroit-native Kash Doll has become a gold-certified award-winning rapper, sought-after actress, and proven entrepreneur. Throughout her career, she’s been personally invited to open for Drake, and joined DJ Khaled’s set during Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s OTRII Tour, in addition to joining Meek Mill on the Motivation Tour. Her debut album “Stacked” reached top of the Billboard Top Rap Albums Chart and reeled in over 100 million streams, in addition to appearing on soundtracks for blockbuster film franchises such as “Charlie’s Angels”. On top of that, she stole scenes on the STARZ smash “BMF” and the cultural phenomenon “Empire”. Simultaneously, she consistently distinguishes herself as a dynamic businesswoman, presiding over her own Kash Doll Enterprises and charities such as her B.A.D. (Black American Doll) Girls.
The Four Tops made their first single in 1956 before Motown’s Berry Gordy signed them without audition to be the marquee action for the company’s Workshop Jazz label. Indelible hit after hit soon followed, with iconic songs including “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)” and “Reach Out I’ll Be There”. The group later combined with The Supremes to make a series of albums as The Magnificent Seven, and added another number one hit in 1980, making them one of the few groups to have hits in three consecutive decades. In 1990, with 24 Top 40 pop hits to their credit, the Four Tops were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Duke Fakir, an original founding member, continues to lead the group, joined by Lawrence Payton Jr., son of original member Lawrence Payton, Ronnie McNeir and Alex Morris.
Undisputed Middleweight Champion Claressa Shields Ups the Ante, to Now Face 1 Ranked Contender Maricela Cornejo Saturday, June 3 from Little Caesars Arena in Detroit and Streamed Live on DAZN
May 24, 2023
Boxing superstar and two-division undisputed world champion Claressa Shields has raised the stakes substantially and will now face no. 1 ranked middleweight contender Maricela “La Diva” Cornejo in the main event of action on Saturday, June 3 from Little Caesars Arena in Detroit and streamed live on DAZN in the U.S. and Canada. Hanna Gabriels was originally slated to rematch Shields. However, based on the results of a May 2, 2023 VADA test done as part of the WBC Clean Boxer Program, promoter Salita Promotions made the change.
Boxing’s G.W.O.A.T. and Michigan’s own Shields will live up to her promise to bring big-time boxing back to Detroit by stepping up to face the WBC, WBO and IBF no. 1 ranked contender Cornejo in the first-ever boxing event at Little Caesars Arena. The two highly-competitive combatants had strong statements about their June 3 showdown.
“I told my team to get me the best,’ said Undisputed Middleweight Champion Claressa Shields. “Cornejo is a tall, tough Mexican full of pride who’s in great shape and wants to beat me. She’s ranked number one. That’s exactly what I want for my Detroit homecoming and for my fans around the world. I’m looking forward to a great performance on June 3.”
“When Shields faced a Mexican in the cage, she lost. Now she will lose to a Mexican in the boxing ring,” said Cornejo. “I just finished an amazing fight camp and am in the best, strongest physical and mental shape of my life. My team in Vegas has sharpened me like a knife for this moment. On June 3, I will become Undisputed Champion!”
A two-time Olympic gold medalist throughout her storied amateur career, the 28-year-old Shields (13-0, 2 KOs) avenged her only amateur defeat last October when she traveled to the U.K. to win the WBO Middleweight Title from Savannah Marshall via unanimous decision. The Flint-native’s last fight in her home state of Michigan came in March 2021 as she bested Marie Eve Dicaire to become undisputed super welterweight world champion, her second undisputed distinction after originally unifying all the middleweight titles with a 2019 victory over then unbeaten Christina Hammer.
A native of Washington who now trains in Las Vegas under the tutelage of renowned trainer Ismael Salas, Cornejo (16-5, 6 KOs) enters this fight having won three-straight contests. She most recently fought in March as she stopped Sheila Cunha in the first round. The 36-year-old has previously challenged for world titles at middleweight and super middleweight, including a pair of close decision losses to undisputed super middleweight champion Franchon Crews Dezurn in 2018 and 2019. Cornejo’s first world title opportunity came in just her sixth professional outing, as she dropped a razor thin split-decision to Kali Reis in April 2016.
“Claressa’s goal has always been to fight the best, and we left no stone unturned in making sure we deliver the highest available contender in the undisputed multi organization no. 1 world-rated middleweight Marcelo Cornejo,” said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions. “Fans watching the fight live on DAZN and those present for the comeback of big-time boxing in Detroit at Little Caesars Arena will witness the highest level of professional boxing between two hungry fighters fighting for the Undisputed Middleweight World Crown.”
Tickets for the live event are on sale now and can be purchased through www.313Presents.com, www.Ticketmaster.com and the XFINITY Box Office at Little Caesars Arena. The event is promoted by Salita Promotions and 313 Presents.
Jonatan Berggren Named Red Wings Rookie of the Year by Detroit Sports Media Association
May 22, 2023
Detroit Red Wings right wing Jonatan Berggren has been named the 2022-23 Red Wings Rookie of the Year by the Detroit Sports Media Association.
Berggren, 22, skated in 67 games with the Red Wings during the 2022-23 season and ranked among the NHL’s rookie leaders with 15 goals (7th), 28 points (14th), five power play goals (T3rd), nine power play points (T7th) and a 15.3 shooting percentage (3rd). The 5-foot-11, 197-pound forward recorded the highest shooting percentage of any Red Wings rookie (minimum one shot per team game) since Henrik Zetterberg finished at a 16.3% clip in 2002-03. Berggren picked up an assist in his NHL debut on Nov. 10 against the New York Rangers and scored his first career NHL goal on Nov. 15 at Anaheim. He tallied six points (2-4-6) through his first nine NHL games, becoming the eighth Red Wings rookie in the last 30 years to record at least six points through their first nine contests, joining Lucas Raymond (4-5-9 in 2021-22), Moritz Seider (0-8-8 in 2021-22), Filip Zadina (1-5-6 in 2019-20), Taro Hirose (1-6-7 in 2018-19), Dennis Cholowski (2-4-6 in 2018-19), Dylan Larkin (2-5-7 in 2015-16) and Zetterberg (3-3-6 in 2002-03).
Originally selected by the Red Wings in the second round (33rd overall) of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, Berggren logged seven points (4-3-7) in seven appearances with the American Hockey League’s Grand Rapids Griffins to begin the 2022-23 campaign. The Uppsala, Sweden, native made his North American professional debut with the Griffins in 2021-22 and set franchise records for a rookie in assists (43), points (64), game-winning goals (7) and overtime goals (3) in 70 games. Berggren was named the AHL Rookie of the Month for April after totaling 20 points (6-14-20) in 14 contests. He finished the season with 26 points (7-19-26) in his last 18 games, including a season-high 11-game point streak (6-13-19 in 11 GP) to close out the year.
Berggren will be honored by the DSMA prior to a Red Wings home game during the 2023-24 season. The DSMA Red Wings Rookie of the Year Award dates back to the 1948-49 NHL season. Previous recipients of the award include Larkin and four Calder Memorial Trophy winners in Seider, Roger Crozier, Glenn Hall and Terry Sawchuk.
