University of Michigan Club of Greater Detroit

The Salvation Army of St. Clair County, in partnership with Colonial Woods Missionary Church, invites the public to the 8th Annual Cars & Kettles event—a community-focused car show featuring classic, antique, exotic, and supercars to benefit local families in need.

This year’s event takes place on Saturday, July 25th, at Colonial Woods Missionary Church, located at 3240 Pine Grove Avenue, Port Huron, MI—just one mile from the end of I-94. Gates open for vehicle staging at 8:00 a.m., and spectators are welcome to attend free of charge from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

“We’re excited to bring the community together again around our shared love for incredible cars—and for a great cause,” said Gerry Mason, Advisory Board member at The Salvation Army of St. Clair County. “Every dollar raised helps provide essential programs and services to our neighbors who need them most.”

Car owners and sponsors are encouraged to pre-register at https://lnkd.in/gsihtFdT. Registration is $25 per vehicle, and all proceeds go directly to support The Salvation Army’s programs in St. Clair County, including food assistance, housing support, and youth development initiatives.

With over 140 years of service in the county, The Salvation Army continues to be a cornerstone of community care.

Colonial Woods Missionary Church, a local fixture since 1896, shares in the mission of outreach, compassion, and neighborly support. “There are still many people struggling with the daily challenges of life,” said Major Aaron Ortman. “Events like Cars & Kettles give us the chance to unite around something joyful while making a tangible difference.”

The Club had a perfect day of golf, great friends, good food and plenty of laughs at this years annual golf outing! We thank everyone who came out and supported the club.

The Brien K. Wassman Memorial Golf Outing is a very special day for our club. We honor the memory of our past President who loved everything University of Michigan, golf and great friends coming together. Brien loved to give back and the money raised helps support our scholarship fund for incoming UM freshman.

We couldn't have asked for better weather and it is always a privilege to play at Radrick Farms Golf Course which presents plenty of unique challenges.

Travis Pointe Country Club was a great venue to host our dinner afterwards and the food was phenomenal.

Special thanks to all the staff and our volunteers who help put this on. We couldn't do it without you!

Make sure to join us next June!

Congratulations to our 2026 Scholarship recipients!

The UM Club of Greater Detroit was proud to honor these incoming freshman and their families tonight at the annual scholarship dinner.

Club President Tim Horvath said it best: These students exemplify the very best of the club tenants in academics, athletics and giving back to their communities. They all have extremely impressive backgrounds and we know they will shine during their years at the University of Michigan and beyond.

Thanks to Ayanna McConnell and the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan for coming out and supporting this great event.
