Back in February, we wrote about the launch of The Awesome Foundation’s Detroit chapter (the 30th chapter of the Awesome Foundation worldwide).

Well, it appears the Detroit team has been busy evaluating projects, because this Friday they are throwing the The 1st Awesome party — taking place on March 30th from 6:00pm – 8:00pm, where they will be partying (and) giving out their first $1,000 micro grant for civic media and journalism in Detroit.

The event will be held at the Virgil H. Carr Cultural Arts Center, at 311 East Grand River Ave., in downtown Detroit.

If you are an Innovator, Social Entrepreneur, or dedicated to uplifting and moving metro Detroit forward in any capacity, this is a great opportunity to network with the Awesome Detroit team members (and find out who the recipient of their first $1,000 micro-grant will be.)

RSVP for their event here.
