DETROIT — The Jalen Rose Leadership Academy hosted its 15th Annual Celebrity Golf Classic recently, at the Detroit Golf Club, drawing sports legends, entertainers, and community leaders together in support of educational excellence in the city.
The two-day event is JRLA’s flagship fundraiser, benefitting the tuition-free public charter high school founded by former NBA star and ESPN analyst Jalen Rose. Attendees included Isiah Thomas, Calvin “Megatron” Johnson, and Tobias Harris, all joining the mission to uplift Detroit’s youth through access to quality education.
A major highlight of the event was the announcement of a transformational gift: Henry Ford Health is donating its former Kingswood Hospital facility to JRLA.
