Here's some brief bio's from our event beneficiaries:

The mission of TART Trails is to enrich the Traverse region by providing a network of trails, bikeways and pedestrian ways; and encourage their use. The TART folks established some great core values that I'm sure you all can appreciate...

  • Outdoor recreation - Get outsideand exercise. Experience wildlife, enjoy the natural environment, breathe fresh air and have fun.

  • Making connections - To nature, to work, to school, to people, to places, to ourselves- now and forever.

  • Sustainable transportation - Empower individuals and decision makers to make choices that benefit personal and community economics and the environment.

  • Equitable access - Always open and safe for everyone.

  • Improving health - Active transportation and outdoor recreation improves community health and personal well-being.
The Traverse Bay Children's Advocacy Center (TBCAC) is designed to prevent children from being further victimized by the intervention systems offered to protect them. The center brings together representatives from many disciplines to help make decisions about investigation and treatment of child abuse cases.

Most importantly, the TBCAC offers a safe, child-friendly facility where the child undergoes ONE interview and receives the specific counseling necessary, allowing the healing process to begin immediately.
The mission of the Grand Travrse Bay YMCA is to put Judeo-Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. Through programs that foster honesty, respect, caring and responsibility, at the YMCA we build character one kid at a time. Their vision says it all..."strong kids, strong families, strong communities!"

Please join us in supporting our favorite local charities by participating in the 3rd annual Traverse City Turkey Trot. Make this event the center of your Thanksgiving tradition and for many years to come.
