BRV was selected as part ofa competitive process as a programming manager for the Detroit Pistons Neighbors Program. In partnership with the City of Detroit, the Ralph C. Wilson Foundation, and the William Davidson Foundation, the Neighbors Program will bring free, safe, outdoor recreation activities and equipment to five Detroit parks for an eight-week pilot summer of 2020. Activities include sports clinics, wellness classes, music, and art. BRV helped the Pistons and the City of Detroit select five parks for the program representing culturally and economically diverse neighborhoods throughout Detroit – Palmer Park, Adam Butzel Recreation Complex, Clark Park, Jayne Field/Lasky Recreation Center, and Pingree Park. In addition to the Pistons’ basketball programming, BRV lined up dozens of partnerships with small businesses, local musicians, arts institutions, and artists representing diverse backgrounds and voices. BRV also worked with the health department and local experts on COVID-19 safety procedures, as well as incorporating social and mental health guidelines. BRV managed all staff, operations, programs, and community engagement, and will train a cohort of community partners to continue programming in the future.
