WaveMaker Fundraising Challenge

We want to recognize the Swim for Grand Traverse Bay swimmers who go above and beyond. You're making waves and we want to reward you for it! In 2025, swimmers will receive one raffle entry for every $250 they raise leading up to the event on August 9th. That means every $250 you raise gives you another chance to win some amazing prizes:
- Private sunset sail for you and 5 friends aboard Scout
- Private afternoon sail for you and 5 friends aboard Scout
- Tickets to sail aboard Tall Ship Manitou
- Tour and tasting for 4 at Ethanology
- Round of golf for 2 at Grand Traverse Resort
- Aquaventure wetsuit from Arena
- Gift certificates to Moomers
- Swag gift basket from Short's Brewing
Raffle tickets cannot be purchased - you must be registered as a swimmer in the 2025 Swim for Grand Traverse Bay. Registrants will automatically earn 1 raffle entry for every $250 you raise. Winners will be drawn at the event on Saturday, August 9, 2025, between 10:30-11am. Need not be present to win. Raffle license #R80974.
