to our sponsors:

MIST Detroit represents more than just the effort of its organizers, the enthusiasm of its competitors, or the cheer and the excitement that fills the halls of a local university every year. Each of our tournaments also represents the will of individuals and organizations that come together to invest in the future of our generations.

Without you, there would be no chant-offs, competitions, or award ceremonies. Similarly, the impassioned speeches, the emotional slam poetry, the gut-busting laughs at Improv, and the raw talent displayed at Nasheed and Rap would cease to exist. Our ability to put on such an event is solely a product of your trust in us to create an environment that students will remember for years to come.

Your contributions mean more than just venue reservation fees or food costs—they are part of a larger message to our youth that what MIST Detroit does matters to the driving forces behind our Michigan community. On behalf of the organizers, volunteers, judges, competitors, and all those who come to laugh, smile, compete, and be part of something greater:

thank you.
