We are so pleased to announce that our September 11, 2022 fundraiser at Boyne Valley Vineyards was a great success!

Boyne Valley Vineyards is a very special place and was the perfect setting for our fall fundraiser. Add to that some fantastic food by Chef Sarah from Parkside Deli, a live auction with a variety of amazing items and music performances from the talented Charlie Millard, Chris Michels with students from the Pellston Rock Jam program, Le Jet and Velvet Jones.

It was a truly magical day and we raised over $18,000!

Because of our generous donors, sponsors, volunteers and patrons, Big Water Creative Arts will be able to provide programs like Rock Jam, Music Exploration and Songwriting 101 for the 2022-2023 school year. Thank you everyone!
