Excerpts from the article:
Richard Dauch had one thing to say about his contribution to help build the NFL Youth Education Town on Detroit’s West Side.
“You only pass by once, but what you leave behind is what you stood for,” Dauch told Crain’s after he helped break ground on the NFL Youth Education Town-Boys and Girls Club.
The $6 million project at the Southfield Freeway and Joy Road is scheduled to be built on 4.8 acres in Detroit’s Gardenview Estates.
Of the money being used to build the center, about $1.5 million is coming from Dauch and his wife, Sandy Dauch.
He joined a list of Detroit and Wayne County officials, along with NFL executives and players, to introduce the center.
Among those on hand were Paul Tagliabue, NFL commissioner; Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick; Roger Penske, chairman of the Detroit Super Bowl XL Host Committee; and Robert Ficano, Wayne County executive. Players from the New Orleans Saints, Oakland Raiders and Detroit Lions were there as well, along with about 100 local children.
