IN SERVICE OF OUR FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS
IN SERVICE OF OUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS.
The Warren Community Foundation (WCF) was formed for the coordination, marketing, and implementation of various community events designed to promote the welfare of the City of Warren, Michigan, and to donate the proceeds to charitable and educational organizations doing good works. WCF believes the best way to bring people together is to get them out of the house and talking to one another. Through engaging activities meant to connect each attendee, we will raise money to help lift each other up. We are the creators of the largest car cruise in the area, Cruisin' 53, which lights up Van Dyke in Warren and Center Line with classic cars and smiling faces. We also organize the Run Warren 5K, offering a USTAF-certified course and promoting health and fitness at Warren City Hall. Through our efforts, we have raised thousands for leading organizations serving the greatest needs of the city.

OUR MISSION
To unite the residents of Michigan's third largest city through community-engagement and inclusive, fun events, for the purpose of providing financial support to worthy causes that enhance living, working, and playing in the city of Warren.


An annual car cruise in Warren and Center Line that brings classic cars, great music, food vendors and much more to Van Dyke. Operates in three locations with multiple events. Sponsored by General Motors in our inaugural year.


An early morning event focused on health and fitness. A 5K run, a senior walk and a children's fun-run launch from the plaza at Warren City Hall. Trophy and prize money are awarded to the high school with the most participants.


The Warren Community Foundation was developed by the Warren Center Line Chamber of Commerce, which exists under the Southeastern Michigan Chamber of Commerce. WCF is the organizational arm for several events funded through the WCLCC.
