Countdown to our site purchase!
​​
As we begin a new year, it's great time to reflect on the progress we made together in 2024. From conducting selecting our Design/Build team to conducting our fourth summer swim skills and water safety program at Bellows Beach for free for elementary-school age children, not one of our accomplishments would have been possible without the generosity of those who have chosen to dive in with us and share their time, talent and treasure.
​
Our work is far from over. Your support is more critical than ever as we work to secure the resources needed to acquire our site. Each gift brings us that much closer to our audacious aspiration of a healthy Benzie community where all will flourish. Each gift, regardless of the amount, is a way for you to "walk the walk" and commit to a place where residents and visitors alike can thrive.
​
Thank you for your interest in our project and the promise it holds for all of us! Best wishes to you and yours for a happy new year!
