'A dream come true'.
A $12,000 donation from MGM Grand Detroit Casino and its local
partners helped the nonprofit Detroit Boxing Association buy a new roof
and an enclosed fence for its building on Detroit's west side.
The newly enhanced boxing gym will give Detroit children a better
opportunity to learn sportsmanship and other life skills, said MGM Grand
Detroit Casino President and COO Scott Snow.
"These enhancements really are a dream come true, and they
establish a better foundation for what we're trying to accomplish
here," said Andrea Darnell, promoter, manager and founder of the
program.
