YPSILANTI, Mich. – Association Football Club Ann Arbor and Washtenaw My Brother’s Keeper, in partnership with the Hart & Tay Train Foundation, the Rob Murphy Foundation and the Mighty Oak Project, have launched a new community youth program called CLR Academy.
The free weekly program aims to support young children’s exploration and creativity through sport, reading, writing and nutrition. CLR Academy is set to begin in June at Sycamore Meadows in Ypsilanti for its residents and surrounding community members.
In 2009, University of Michigan s all-time leading rusher and Syracuse Sports Hall of Fame Member Mike Hart created CNY Football Academy. The free camp ran for years and connected Murray and Hart back in Syracuse with their community focused efforts. In 2020, Hart invited Murray to join the Mike Hart Family Foundation to be renamed to the Hart & Tay Train Foundation. The foundation aims to use football, education and mentorship to positively impact the communities they have lived in.
