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.

This year, NGS Cares is collecting shelf-stable donations to fill take home food boxes this Thanksgiving season for our friends at Ruth Ellis Center, and we need your help! Donations can be made in person, purchased through our Amazon Wishlist, or monetarily direct to REC!

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?
