Just a quick shout from those of us in the midwest:
This post is being made in support of the X Lake MI, U.A. organization. We are a Wisconsin, U.S. non-profit unincorporated association. This summer we will be raising money for the "Apple's for Kids" annual fund raising program of Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.
To do so, we are organizing a kiteboard crossing in early August from Two Rivers, WI to Big Sable Point, MI, 52 miles across lake Michigan.
To our knowledge, this would be a kiteboarding "first."
Any help in generating publicity for this event will go a long way to assist in the fund raising aspect.
We are not actively seeking "sponsorship", donations, equipment, supplies, or anything except assistance in spreading knowledge of the event and securing donations to the hospital.
Each member attempting the crossing is "on their own" for equipment, etc. While we would not refuse such assistance, our current largest need is for public awareness of this event and it's cause.
Anything you can do to help us raise awareness of the event, even just spreading word around the kiteboarding community, would be appreciated.
We greatly appreciate the time and effort.
Sincerely,
Chaz
