Miller Canfield lawyer takes his skating skills to the ice for charity
Miller Canfield lawyer, David Grand, a principal in the Ann Arbor office, recently took his charitable efforts to another level — the ice. Grand is outside general counsel to the International Hockey League (IHL), an appointment that inspired him to again play organized hockey after a 25-year hiatus. Grand was invited to play with Carhartt, Inc., a sponsor of the IHL, in a charity game against the Detroit Red Wings Alumni Association on Friday, December 3. The game raised more than $10,000 for the Macomb-Oakland Regional Center (MORC), which helps individuals with disabilities and mental illness realize their dreams as full members of their communities.  

Grand was pleased to participate in the event. “As a life-long Red Wings fan and someone who’s recently gotten back into playing hockey, this was a thrill for me. But, more importantly, I was happy, along with Miller Canfield, to contribute to an event that raised money for MORC. Carhartt put on a first-class event and the Red Wings Alumni players couldn’t have been more gracious and genuine interacting with the fans, many of whom were individuals served by MORC,” he said.
