Each year, leaders from across metro Detroit gather at the Checkered Flag Ball during the American Speed Festival — not just to celebrate motorsports, but to fuel impact. Proceeds benefit M1 Mobility, a partnership with the Checkered Flag Challenge Foundation, the philanthropic arm of M1 Concourse, providing over 20,000 rides to date for residents without access to transportation. From grocery trips to medical visits to after-school programs, M1 Mobility helps connect Pontiac families, seniors, and children with the needed services. Together, we’re helping to drive Pontiac forward.
