In 1977, Howard Tapper sold his cherished Oldsmobile Cutlass to fund a bold vision: opening the very first Tapper’s Jewelry store in Southfield, Michigan. That sacrifice was the spark that launched a legacy.
Decades later, his son Mark set out on a heartfelt mission to track down that very same Cutlass—a symbol of passion, perseverance, and family. He found it. And now, Howard wants it to do even more good.
To honor the journey and give back to the community that made it all possible, Howard donated the Cutlass to one deserving Metro Detroit charity. You helped us by nominating your favorite causes and lent us your voice for the final vote.
