                     Summer Drive-In








            We don’t mean to toot our horns but BEEP BEEP – our
            sponsors and supporters ROCK! The first ever Samaritas
            Summer Drive-In presented by Delta Dental and TCF Bank
            raised $122,000!
            This 1950’s themed event drove guests back in time to a truly
            unique, in-person, event experience. Attendees enjoyed the
            nostalgia of the drive-in movie theater, grilled burgers and root
            beer floats delivered to their cars, and classic 50’s tunes from the
            Memphis Thrillbillies all in the open air under the summer night
            sky from the safety of their car.
            Event chair Margaret Trimer, vice president of Strategic
            Partnerships at Delta Dental of Michigan, Ohio & Indiana and
            vice-chair Thomas Shafer, president & COO of TCF National
            Bank helped lead an important mission program focusing on the
            critical funding needs to help support Samaritas programs during
            this COVID-19 pandemic. We are very honored and excited to
            announce that Tom Shafer has already signed on to be next year's
            event chair!
            Honored at the event with our annual partner awards were David
            Lochner, DTE Energy Technical Training, Delta Dental and
            Christ Church Cranbrook.

            The night ended with a blast from the past with a featured
            showing of the classic movie, Back to the Future.
