Taking the Initiative

Enter Title

The Grand Tour.ORGanization is encouraging the participants of this year's tour to make a conscious effort to help promote our sport in a positive and proactive manner. Leading by example, each member of the Tour can make a positive and definitive statement during this year's tour while providing an emphatic statement on how others view our sport. Let's take the initiative and present our sport in a manner which we would all like to see it viewed.

About

The Grand Tour, organized by the Grand Tour.ORGanization is an annual event that features personal watercraft enthusiasts covering 350 miles of Michigan coastline over three days during the 'Leader Dog-days of summer'.

The event's net proceeds will once again benefit Leader Dogs for the Blind, a Rochester, Michigan-based non-profit organization that provides mobility and independence to the visually impaired through the use of dog guides.

Eppley Fundraiser in Ohio - Monday, May 16, 2011

A special "Thank You" goes out to riders Barb & Dean! They ran another successful fund raiser for the Grand Tour this past weekend with help from riders Mary Lyn & Jim. A portion of Barb's report is posted here:

"The rain was horrible but we made it through. We had about 75 people. Not as much as we expected. There are pix's out there and I hope to be getting some soon. The fire works, food and band we great! The bird (chicken s**t bingo) did his job!... Mary Lyn and Jim were a great help and with out them it would not have gone as smoothly. We are still collecting donations. ...So better than last year!"
