On Nov. 12, I attended the annual Philanthropy Day Dinner at the Dearborn Hyatt to hand out the Neal Shine Media Award for Commitment in Philanthropy. This year's winner was the voice of the Detroit Pistons, George Blaha. He has raised nearly $1 million for a women's shelter, and also works with a few local basketball-related groups in and around the city. He was very nice and had kind words to say about Dad. So did some of the other honorees (Art Van and former GM chair Lloyd Reuss) as well as emcee Mary Kramer of Crain's Detroit. (FYI - Members of the Pistons dance team, Automotion, did not accept the award with George).
