2017 Run-a-thon!

The NSO MAN IN THE CITY EXPERIENCE (NSO-MCX) is a celebration of art and service creating a collaborative art experience and fundraising event to benefit the programs and services of NSO. The NSO-MCX is inspired by the representation of the “man in the city” created by artist John Sauve for his Man in the City Sculpture Project that has orange fedora-clad men dotting the rooftop landscape of some of Detroit’s most iconic buildings. Using a wood cut-out of the Man In The City, local and nationally renowned artists, celebrities, community leaders and NSO consumers will create their vision of The Man In The City using design materials of their choice.

These one-of-a-kind creative expressions will be displayed at the NSO-MCX where they will be available for purchase through a silent auction. All auction proceeds will benefit the programs and services of NSO. The high energy event will include music, dancing, auction, hors d’oeuvres, street performers and more.

The NSO-MCX will take place at the MotorCity Casino Hotel's Sound Board in Detroit on Saturday, September 9, 2017 from 7:00 p.m. - 11:30 p.m. (VIP Reception 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.).
