"We have an exciting line-up of events scheduled for the Winter Caravan that include celebrations of significant anniversaries within our communities," said Tigers Vice President of Public Affairs and Strategic Planning Elaine Lewis. "Year in and year out, the players, manager and coaches have made a commitment to engaging with fans throughout the state of Michigan, and they enjoy seeing the smiles, hearing the cheers, and feeling the passion and outpouring support from fans. It speaks to the impact the Tigers caravan can have for all."
