We value all fundraisers equally because of how impactful they are, from the students at Detroit’s Cass Technical High School to Grammy-nominated artist Mike Posner, you, too, have the power to help DJC reach audiences we can’t reach alone.
Fundraisers can be self-organized, or we can help you get started with email templates and an online fundraising page.

Cass Tech National Honor Society students collectively raised more than $400 for DJC. We’re all fighting to ensure these students grow to become adults in a Detroit that isn’t littered with prisons, police, family separation and trauma; we’re fighting for a city that will provide them with everything they need to take care of each other. And they’re fighting for that future too.
Jon Posner was a well-respected criminal defense attorney in Detroit for over 40 years. His passion was in representing social justice activists and clients who needed his support the most. After Jon’s death in 2017, his son, Grammy-nominated recording singer-songwriter Mike Posner, reflects feeling caught under the weight of his own life.
“In 2019, I walked across America in order to find out who I was when I wasn’t ‘Mike Posner, Grammy nominated singer-songwriter.’ The journey changed my life and when I crossed the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, I decided what I wanted to do next…”
He decided to climb Mt. Everest to raise funds for the Detroit Justice Center. “They’re doing criminal justice reform work in my city that would make my dad beam with joy.”
On June 1, 2021 at 4:35 a.m. Mike successfully submitted Mt. Everest. To date, his GoFundMe has raised over $260,000 for DJC.
