MAY 14th, 2026: MEN’S FUND ANNUAL GIVING BREAKFAST

Great Oaks Country Club

Oakland University Basketball Coach Greg Kampe and Former NFL player Frank Zombo joined us at the annual Men’s Fund Breakfast, marking a refocused mission for the Men’s Fund: focusing on providing team sports access to under-served youth in our communities.

The committee has decided to provide support in the form of scholarships to participate in team sports programs. The impact of youth team sports is a long-term positive in all areas of health, and together we can make a huge impact on young lives.

The Men’s Fund has supported causes and organizations including Neighborhood House, Grace Centers of Hope, and the Oakland County Deputy Sheriff’s Association Family Benevolent Fund, putting dollars toward enacting real, positive change in our neighbors’ lives.
