When Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson created the
Brooksie
Way Half Marathon, his dream was for race proceeds to promote healthy, active lifestyles for Oakland County residents. Support from
HealthPlus
of Michigan helps make the grant program possible. "We’re pleased that our sponsorship helps make the
Brooksie
Way
Minigrants
possible for additional worthwhile health and wellness initiatives in Oakland County,” said Bruce Hill, president and CEO,
HealthPlus
of Michigan.
The
Brooksie
Way
Minigrant
program allows us to put money back into our communities to improve the overall health and wellness of our residents and contributes to the general quality of life in Oakland County," says Patterson.
