Unlike last year's inaugural event at the Detroit Golf Club, this year's Rocket Mortgage Classic is not open to the general public due to COVID-19 restrictions. But there are still some road closures affecting Palmer Park the week of June 29-July 5, 2020.
The Rocket Giving Fund's mission is to host a world-class PGA TOUR event while simultaneously benefiting the Detroit community. The Organization's primary fundraising activity is the Rocket Mortgage Classic, Detroit's annual PGA TOUR event. The net proceeds realized by the event and other such activities and events will support its new "Changing the Course" initiative in partnership with Rocket Mortgage, a multi-year campaign with a vision that every Detroit resident has access to the internet, technology and digital literacy training they deserve within five years. The COVID-19 pandemic has shined a light on a number of unaddressed underlying issues in Detroit - internet accessibility being one of the most severe. The mission of "Changing the Course" is a Detroit where every resident has access to the technology, internet and digital literacy that is the baseline for education and opportunity in today's economy, and the initiative will invest funds in organizations and infrastructure that seek to ensure SG internet technology becomes available across Detroit.

As a backdrop, volunteers are an integral part of the operations of all PGA Tour events. More than 100,000 volunteers annually contribute countless hours helping orchestrate more than 120 tournaments in all aspects from admissions and guest services to marshals and scoring.

"HONOR & REJOICE" The Detroit Police Department partners each year with LGBT Detroit for their annual LGBT Community Chat at Palmer Park. The focus is honoring those who have paved the way, the progression and the future of the LGBTQ+ movement and the ongoing strides made with law enforcement. Additionally this year, The Hotter Than July Candlelight Vigil will coincide with this event. This community chat will be held on Tuesday, July 24, 2018 @ 6pm at Palmer Park (Merrill Plaisance & Woodward Ave, near Lake Frances - "The Duck Pond"). Look for the tent. As always, this will be a relaxed and welcoming environment hosted by Corporal Danielle Woods - LGBT Liaison/Public Safety Foundation/Detroit Recreation Department/Detroit Police Department in which the City will provide information and resources to EVERYONE in the community, spread awareness, and address any concerns ANYONE may have. The community chat offers an opportunity for law enforcement, community members, allies, and organizations to communicate and engage each other to help with the restoration of public trust and positive relationships.
