High school football game raises funds for Grand Blanc LDS rebuilding
September 19, 2026 at 12:03 AM MT · via WJRT ABC12 · Summarized by Mormon News from original reporting

A Wolverines high school football game in Grand Blanc, Michigan raised funds to support rebuilding of the local Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints meetinghouse destroyed by arson last year. The attack followed a shooting that killed one person at the building.
Community support for the rebuilding has extended beyond the LDS congregation itself, with interfaith and civic groups contributing. The stake announced plans to break ground on a new building at the same site.
The fundraising game demonstrates local solidarity after the violent attack. The arson was one of the most serious acts of violence against an LDS building in recent years.
