Supporters from all over Northern Michigan gathered this past week at the 4th Annual Golf Classic. Nearly 90 attendees descended on Crystal Mountain’s gorgeous Mountain Ridge course for a day of fantastic sportsmanship and celebration benefitting the nonprofit Michigan Legacy Art Park. Thanks to their generosity, the Art Park raised $29,995 in funding to support our mission to inspire awareness, appreciation and passion for Michigan’s history, culture and environment through the arts.
The signature fundraising event was presented by D&W Mechanical.
Cheers to a great day at the Golf Classic
