This week I had a chance to be a part of my first Rocket Mortgage Classic and was blown away. This experience demonstrates the power of community and sport coming together. It’s inspiring to see the best #PGA TOUR players in the world, but what inspires me the most is the way this event embraces and supports our community. Since 2019, the Rocket Mortgage Classic has invested more than $8.4 million into Detroit-based charitable organizations, including $4.3 million in contributions to help take #Detroit from one of the least digitally connected large cities to nearly 70% of the city now having access to high-speed internet, digital devices and training. Congratulations to our champion, Cam Davis, and to all the competitors this weekend. A special shout out to the hard work behind the scenes from everyone at Rocket who brought this event to life. Already counting down the days till next year!

The investments in Detroit's future, especially in bridging the digital divide, are inspiring.
