The Dearborn Community Fund (DCF) and the City of Dearborn were pleased to support the 21
Homecoming non-profit partners with a Virtual Fundraiser on August 7, 8, 9. These organizations were
deeply affected by the cancellation of Homecoming 2020 due to health concerns related to the Covid 19
pandemic. The fundraiser video produced by the very able staff at CDTV highlighted the 21 organizations
providing great insight into the work each does and how it impacts the greater Dearborn community
throughout the year. Each organization was contacted to determine interest and asked to help promote
the event by means of promoting via their organization websites, social media, emails and personal
contacts.
A total of $9,125 was raised and distributed to organizations. Donations could be made to a general
category to be shared equally by all 21 or designated to a specific organization. The Dearborn
Community Fund was NOT one of the 21 organizations and did not benefit financially from the Virtual
Fundraiser.
We thank each and every one who supported the Virtual Fundraiser 2020. Special thanks go out to
Beaumont, LaFontaine Motors and Comcast for their continued Homecoming sponsor support.
