Nichole Tuttle of Sterling Heights’ “The Voice” reports that the Ted Lindsay Foundation is holding a charitable event later this month:
Red Wings fans eagerly anticipating the start of hockey season can whet their appetite for the game at the upcoming Autos for Autism event in Chesterfield Township.
The annual Autos for Autism fundraiser for the Ted Lindsay Foundation is set for July 20 at Stahls Automotive Foundation, located at 56516 N. Bay Drive in Chesterfield Township. Stahls is a nonprofit that preserves, restores and exhibits vintage vehicles, music machines and memorabilia of the 20th century. The Ted Lindsay Foundation supports autism research and education.
Stahls General Manager Terri Coppens said this year’s fundraising goal is to top last year’s $42,000. Coppens also said the event started several years ago and was born of the Stahls’ Veterans Day events. One of the Veterans Day events is an annual hockey game. Ted Lindsay was in attendance at one of these annual games a few years ago when discussions for an additional Stahls event began.
“It was before Ted Lindsay passed away. We talked with him and kind of got onto a conversation of basically what else we could do. He mentioned the foundation. We thought we could do an event to help that out, and Autos for Autism was born,” Coppens said.
