Swim for Grand Traverse Bay

I am passionate about protecting the rivers, lakes and beaches that make the Grand Traverse region so beautiful and that’s why I’ve committed to swimming 2 miles in open water in the 2024 Swim for Grand Traverse Bay. To be eligible to compete in this race, I need to raise at least $150 by August 8th, 2025 to benefit The Watershed Center (TWC).

TWC is a nonprofit organization that advocates for the health of Grand Traverse Bay and acts to protect and preserve the bay’s watershed.

Their mission is important to me because this is where my parents met, our family has been coming up for almost 100 years.  The GT Bay and the waters that feed it are crucial to the farms, fish and wildlife that make this area unique.

Help me protect the beautiful waters of Grand Traverse Bay by helping me reach my fundraising goal!  I plan to MATCH every dollar donated, so your gift will have double the impact.  Plus, you can say you forced me to swim 2 miles in the cold (but clean) water of Lake Michigan!
