FOUNDATION UPDATE Sue Kattula Honored by Macomb County Earlier this month, Breaking Barriers Program Manager Sue Kattula was inducted into the Macomb Hall of Fame, which honors individuals and organizations that have made outstanding contributions to improving the economic, family, and community life of those that live in Macomb County. Detroit Pistons Star Visits CCF CCF’s summer basketball program participants were visited by the Detroit Pistons’ Isaiah Stewart. Stewart talked to the kids about goal setting and how to be successful in school and on the court. Participants also had the opportunity to ask questions and enjoy a game of “Lightning” with the NBA player. This summer, over thirty middle school boys did a deep dive into the game of basketball, learning basic skills and teamwork, and making new friends. We are grateful for the additional support of the Good Sports Foundation to outfit the boys and update the basketball equipment. For more information on next year’s program, call us at 586-722-7253. Isaiah Stewart pictured with CCF’s Youth Basketball Program participants Record Crowd for Back-to-School Events Nearly 400 attendees came to the Warren Consolidated Schools (WCS) Back-to-School event on August 10. The event provided free resources and the ability to ask questions of various staff members. WCS distributed 325 backpacks, and Stellantis’ Middle Eastern Employees Together (MEET) group also donated 100 bags of school supplies for the event. Another 280 attended the Utica Community Schools event on August 17. Despite the rainy conditions, many families came early to gain access to free district resources and receive backpacks and school supplies for children starting the school year.

Sue Kattula at the Macomb Hall of Fame Awards Dinner Kattula celebrates 12 years of significant contributions to the Foundation, starting as a case worker in 2011. With a passion for advocating on behalf of people with developmental disabilities, under Sue’s leadership, the Breaking Barriers program grew. With her unique vision, Sue filled in the gaps where services did not exist for adults arriving in the U.S. without knowledge of the language or the tools to navigate in their new country. The B.E.A.M. and H.E.A.L. projects serving those individuals who are blind or deaf were spearheaded by Sue to allow individuals to communicate, learn important life skills, find employment opportunities, and socialize. 8 CHALDEAN NEWS SEPTEMBER 2023
