With the support of our community, we hope to honor Malik Manuel Jr., who unexpectedly passed away on June 3, 2026. Malik absolutely loved the Saginaw Children’s Zoo, and our goal is to raise $2,500 to purchase a memorial bench in his honor—a special place where family, friends, and visitors can sit, reflect, and remember the joy that 5-year-old Malik brought to so many lives.
How you can help:
💙 Monetary donations of any amount are greatly appreciated. Every dollar brings us one step closer to honoring Malik.
For those asking, payment can be sent to any of these however you must put in the memo “Malik’s Memorial Bench”

We are also seeking local businesses willing to donate baskets, gift cards, certificates, merchandise, or other items for a raffle/silent auction. After our vacation, we plan to organize fundraising baskets using donated items from our community and local businesses to help reach our goal.
Thank you for helping us create a lasting tribute to a little boy who was deeply loved and will never be forgotten. Every donation, share, and act of kindness means more than words can express. ❤️
*This fundraiser was approved by Malik’s maternal grandmother, Michelle Sprague.
