You’ve heard of March Madness, right? Well, our President and CEO Cindy Pasky is ready to introduce you to June Madness.
She is a co-chair of the MetroPCS Motor City Hoops Classic, a 3-on-3 basketball tournament that will take place on the Detroit Riverfront outside of General Motors headquarters over the weekend of Saturday, June 7 and Sunday, June 8.
“This event will bring Metro Detroit companies together in a spirit of camaraderie and competition and they will celebrate both on our riverfront, said Pasky, who is also chair of Downtown Detroit Partnership. “We hope it might attract even more companies to our city. S3 has been downtown since it was founded in 1990 and I walk on the riverfront every day. I can tell you both are the place to be.”

The event will benefit the Detroit RiverFront Conservancy and the Detroit Goodfellows in honor of its 100th anniversary. The organization has been fulfilling its mission of “no kiddie without a Christmas” since 1914. The Detroit Goodfellows will distribute 35,000 gift packages to needy Detroit children in 2014. It also sponsors an emergency dental program for kids, awards scholarships through Wayne State University, provides free shoes to kids in need and sends hundreds of needy children to summer camp.
“At S3 we are all about helping children and supporting the communities in which we do business,” Pasky said. “Detroit Hoops allows us to do both.”
The MetroPCS Motor City Hoops Classic will also bring Downtown Detroit corporations and businesses together in the spirit of for their support and employee participation in the tournament. Downtown businesses are expected to enter teams in several corporate competition divisions.
S3 also participates in another set of collaborative corporate games. Those are called the Live Downtown Games. This annual event, which began in 2012, is held in July in Downtown Detroit tomorrow and is a competition among the six companies who participate in the Live Downtown program. The corporate teams participate in sporting events as well as a charity event.

The games were a huge success that connected the companies as well as people all around the city.
The Live Downtown program is a five-year, more than $4 million initiative that provides cash incentives to employees who choose to move to Downtown Detroit. S3 offers that program to its employees.
