Dear Potential Partner,
Imagine the impact of giving a young man his first fishing rod, teaching him the value of patience, and showing him that his community is rooting for his success.
The Flint Men's Community Action Resource (MCAR) invites you to become a cornerstone of our 16th Annual Day at the Lake. This program is more than just a fishing event; it is a dynamic outreach initiative designed to mentor inner-city youth through leadership, outdoor craftsmanship, and the excitement of the catch.
Why Partner With Us?
Your sponsorship offers a unique "double-bottom-line" return on investment:
-
Community Transformation: You are directly investing in the character and future of Flint’s young men, providing them with mentorship and gear they can call their own.
-
Brand Visibility: Your company will gain prominent exposure to our mentors, volunteers, families, and the wider community through a high-visibility, feel-good local event.
Our Legacy & Growth
Now in our 16th year, this event continues to defy the odds. Even through economic challenges, we have remained steadfast in our mission. Last year alone, we hosted 60 young men for a camping and fishing experience at Shay Lake, supported by over 40 volunteers and an ecumenical coalition of local businesses and churches.
