Rake & Run is Underway in Auburn Hills

The fall season is off to a beautiful start, and the gorgeous weather has been perfect for our Rake & Run volunteers! Each year, volunteers come together to help rake the yards of Auburn Hills seniors, residents with disabilities, and military families, making sure they can enjoy the season without the added burden of fall yard cleanup.

So far, we have had an incredible response from local businesses, organizations, and community groups who have rolled up their sleeves, grabbed their rakes, and gotten to work!

A big THANK YOU to the following groups who have already volunteered their time and talents:

• Safe Balance
• The Sigma Group
• Volkswagen Development & Governance
• Volkswagen Data & Advanced Analytics
• Valeo
• Stellantis HVAC/Engine Division
• Oakland University groups
• Oakland County

These dedicated volunteers have raked numerous yards, filled countless leaf bags, and, most importantly, brought smiles to the residents they have helped.

Rake & Run is about more than just clearing leaves. It is about neighbors helping neighbors, building relationships, and showing what can happen when businesses, organizations, and community members come together for a common purpose.

We are incredibly grateful to these companies, organizations, and their employees for their generosity, teamwork, and willingness to give back. Their commitment to volunteering helps make Auburn Hills a wonderful place to live, work, and play.

Thank you for making a difference, one yard at a time!
