⛳ Adcraft Detroit at The Ally Challenge!

Some of our Adcraft Detroit Board and YPC members had so much fun volunteering and supporting The Ally Challenge this past weekend!

Ally, the tournament’s title sponsor, is also a fantastic partner to Adcraft, and we loved being part of the tournament weekend and helping out wherever we could. It was a great opportunity to connect, give back, and support an incredible event right here in Michigan.

A special thank you to Bridget Sponsky, Adcraft Board of Directors, for all you do for Adcraft and for helping make opportunities like this possible! 💙

We’re grateful for great partners, great volunteers, and a great advertising community.
