On Saturday, November 8, 2025, Downtown Traverse City will host its annual Shop Your Community Day, a cherished event where 15% of every purchase at participating local businesses is donated to your choice of 30 nonprofit organizations. This initiative offers shoppers the unique opportunity to support both local businesses and meaningful causes, fostering a stronger, more connected community.
This year, Flow Water Advocates is one of the nonprofits selected to participate in this event! By choosing Flow Water Advocates as your designated nonprofit while you shop, you contribute directly to efforts aimed at preserving the state’s vital water systems for future generations.
'We Are Made From Rivers', a live storytelling event
On February 5, 2026, 7pm, Flow Water Advocates is teaming up with Here:Say Storytelling to present a night of true, first-person stories about water – from ice hockey, to fishing, to why you love boating with your grandma. The Great Lakes are more than just a natural wonder — they shape who we are. They hold our memories, fuel our creativity, sustain our communities, and inspire awe, generation after generation. We Are Made From Rivers brings together local storytellers to share powerful testimony to the waters that made us.
