When Chris Sain Jr. was a kid growing up in southeast Grand Rapids, sports weren’t just his hobby they were his way to stay out of a life of crime, or worse, a life cut short.
So when his football career came to an end after college, Sain and several of his friends from high school, including NFL linebacker David Harris, devised an idea to provide that same opportunity to at-risk youth in the city, and Grand C.I.T.Y. Sports Inc. was born. The nonprofit hosts a number of youth camps, workshops and awards an annual scholarship to GRPS high school seniors.
