Mark Weiss Day at Comerica Park to raise funds for scholarships

 Wayne State University Law School will host the 12th annual Mark Weiss Day on Friday, Aug. 1, at Comerica Park. This year, the American League Champion Detroit Tigers take on the Colorado Rockies. The picnic starts at 5:30 p.m. on party deck #1 and the game begins at 7:08 p.m. 

Cost is $125 for each ticket.  The actual cost for the picnic and ticket to the game is $52. The remaining $73 will be a tax deductible gift to the Mark Weiss Memorial Scholarship Fund. The scholarship was established as a joint project of Wayne Law and the Michigan Association for Justice, formerly known as the Michigan Trial Lawyers Association. 

Weiss, who graduated from the school in 1969, devoted his skills to fighting for the rights of the poor and powerless, and protecting the civil rights of all litigants. To date, 36 scholarships have been awarded to Wayne Law students in memory of Mark Weiss. 

Tickets will be mailed directly to attendees through July 25. If a purchase is made the week of the game, attendees are required to personally pick up their tickets from the Office of Special Events and Services at Wayne State University located at 5700 Cass Avenue, Suite 4300 in Detroit. For questions regarding a ticket purchase, call 313-577-0300.
