The Special Olympics Polar Plunge is coming, and NGS isn't just jumping into the river for fun- we’re doing it for a cause that matters. Special Olympics Michigan supports over 23,000 athletes across our state, and they need our help now more than ever.

Our apologies for the hella short notice while we waited on confirmation of a date, but we FINALLY have the details regarding the wrapping party for our Freedom House gifts!

Picture features the abominable snowman with a dialogue bubble that reads "fuck ICE" and the Detroit skyline in the background. There is large text in the center that reads "wrapping party benefitting freedom house." Below that in smaller text reads, "Sunday, December 14, 2025. 6-8pm at the city clubhouse. Bring wrapping paper, scissors, tape, ribbon, etc."
The freedom House and NGS Cares logos are in the bottom corners.

Inspired by David Lynch's character on Twin Peaks, "Fix your hearts or die" is an invitation for self reflection and the opening of hearts, or risk suffering the agony and corrosion of holding onto hate.

This iconic woman did so much for the community- and to this day, the Ruth Ellis Center continues her legacy. The support they provide to the LGBTQ+ youth of Detroit is vital, and it's important that we do everything we can to ensure they have the funds they need to keep it up. How can you help?

This includes FIVE Democrats from Michigan who essentially voted in favor of expanding the power of Trump’s incoming government to strip nonprofits of their tax status. Palestinian aid groups are most certainly the main target but this very well could have a much broader reach.
